So convince yourself of the importance of it and it will be all down hill from then on.

Stated differently try to follow this advice:

When you should complete something which is not a dire necessity, first sit down and convince yourself that it is, and then you will be able to complete it as your primal instincts for action will kick in. Study yourself and understand how your primal instincts are motivated and use that information to prompt yourself.
Some of us have really really bad habits even when it does come to things we love to do .

Speaking as someone who mastered the art of procrastination I can tell you that it is possible to overcome it. Each of will have our own challenge to the problem I'm sure. My own problem was self discipline. I had to overcome that before I could really succeed. Treat the problem like a muscle that you would work out at the gym. As I stop procrasinating in the little things it becomes easier for me to stop procrasinating in the large things.
