I have exactly the same problem... So I can't give you "been there, done that" advice. It's an ongoing journey for me. But recently I've discovered a site called habitica.com , and it's really helping me to get things done. I don't know if it would help you, but you could try it out.

Count 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. And do some activity....move your body or start taking action. If you do it like this it will be good to start the activity. Slowly You will start taking actions rather than waiting and watching things happen automatically. As it is not going to happen till you do it . If it’s a big goal break it into small , measurable, achievable, realistic,time bound(smart) steps.

Think about your "why's" in life, make them your motivation to push yourself to do the thing that has to be done in order to get to that why.

Procrastination can only be stopped by actually doing it! (A thousand miles journey starts with a single step!) The next question then, is how to motivate you? One easy way is to find out what you like, use that as rewards that you can get after you finish what you have to do!

Sometimes looking at a large amount of tasks or one large task can seem daunting, preparation is key to starting to move toward achieving goals. Break down goals and tasks into simpler more readily attainable tasks and set aside time for those smaller tasks. It'll minimize the feeling of having to complete everything at once.

Procrastination is a big thing in this day and age! You're totally not alone in it. Unfortunately, procrastination can sneak up on you at any time. What is important is that you remember your goal and how important whatever the task at hand is to you. Motivation is often the biggest motivator!

There are a multitude of ways that you can find on the internet. The best way that works for me is to tell myself that 9-5 is work time. Nothing else. So even if I want to stop doing this work, I don't because I know that if I do, I'll still just have to do another piece of work. That gets work done, and then after 5 I can do things I want to do. It's a nice stress free way of living as well.

I make a list of everything I need to get done for that day. Next to each task is then a box to be check marked, I find that the checks make me feel motivated and accomplished.

Do not fear failure. Do smaller tasks first. For large tasks, split it up into parts and arrange a schedule to do it a little at a time. It will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed. Reward yourself, never punish.

Try giving yourself incentives, such as rewarding yourself with some chocolate after completing a set number of tasks. Don't overburden yourself with too much at once, but rather start small, and work your way up. It also helps to buddy up with someone, as you can each make sure the other doesn't procrastinate.
