My other technique is to open a text document and type why I don't want to do the thing I'm procrastinating about. Somehow pointing out the negatives makes it easier to find the positives. And usually I'm procrastinating because I want to do the task perfectly from the very outset without any effort. Typing a perfectly imperfect version makes me feel so much better. Does that make any sense?! Yeah, I do that: The less important stuff first thing.
