I always remember one line I heard when I was young:
Work is like gas, it expands to fit space it has to fill.
I've found the best way to avoid procrastinating is to break things up and set shorter term goals, so if you have a paper due in a week, give yourself a deadline for the outline, first draft, bibliography, etc. Study chapter one, two, three, etc. The same holds true for workplace stuff, start using a "critical path", work back from the deadline, marking when certain things need to be done, just don't use the exercise as another form of procrastination.
