My trick lately has been to allow myself to do nothing.

If I don’t want to do the task, that’s fine. I’m allowed to sit at my desk and do exactly nothing for as long as I want. No hackernews, no snack breaks, no bill paying, no online shopping, etc. I just sit there and do nothing.

Eventually the thing I need to do becomes the most interesting thing in my orbit and I do it. Sometimes I sit there for 15 minutes doing nothing before the task I don’t want to do becomes interesting enough.

That sounds like a great way to limit the procrastination for many things while at the same time include a bit of mindfulness (i.e. sitting still with your thoughts).

This sounds very much like the first steps towards a mindfulness practice. Which will probably be good for many aspects of your life, but not necessarily procrastination, as doing (and thinking) nothing becomes a goal in itself.
