How can I make this easier for myself?? 
It's SO tempting for me to put stuff off because I think I'll be able to face it later, but most of the time I'm wrong and I just end up in a horrible cycle until whatever the thing is becomes urgent in some way... When I find myself in this situation I try to tune into myself
I ask myself a series of questions:
What do I need to do?
Why am I not doing it?
Why do I feel like I can't do it?
What would I need right now to be able to feel like I can face it?
If I put this off, what will make me want to do it later that isn't a factor right now?

If I start doing it anyway, will that make me feel better or worse?
What can we do to compromise?
Has something happened in my life that is making this more difficult than usual?
Do I need discipline or care right now?
Do I need a break or to work harder?
etc etc

Asking and answering these questions (and more depending on context) helps to ground me. It helps me to break out of my procrastination cycle. Bonus points if I can break the tasks down into achievable chunks or reach a compromise like 'only do 50% of the task'.
