I think this is somewhat similar to what I often do when I need to work on something and never seem to get started: Define the absolutely minimal next step very concretely.
Procrastinating on filing taxes. Next step is to log in to tax preparation app.
Procrastinating on cleaning office. Next step is to pick up a piece of paper off the desk and throw it away.
Whatever it might be, once I get to something absolutely concrete and absolutely doable... I can usually get started and make some progress.
It's much easier (for me) to procrastinate on "do your taxes" than "log in to tax prep app." Once it's that clear it's like... ok, why procrastinate on that?
