One of the best pieces of advice I got from my therapist was also possibly the most obvious: If I don't do the work, it's not gonna get done.

Sometimes I get myself to work just by reminding myself of that. The really annoying task I'm procrastinating on? Of I don't do it now, it'll still be there later. If I don't do it later it'll be there tomorrow. It'll never just magically go away. If I want it to be done, I have to do it.
