This talk by psychology professor Tim Pychyl who studies procrastination literally made me procrastinate less after watching. It's worth watching the whole video.
The biggest tip he has in the video is to think of in terms of implementation; instead of "I'll do this tonight", which is too vague, think "I will do X after Y happens". It's important that X is something concrete like, "I will write 500 words" and Y is something environmental and out of your control, like "When the clock hits 8 pm".
