I know it’s a cliche, but like Nike says:
"Just do it".
Don’t even give yourself time to think about what it is you need to do, just get up and do it. Works for me!

Nope, you spelled it correctly.
There is really no one key.
There are things that work for some people though.
I overcame procrastination by creating lists of every step that needed done. I found it fun to write things down. For a research project I would put.
Develop an idea
Research
Find the rebuttle
Reasearch
Write the thesis
Research
etc..
I would always begin with a step that I had completed beforehand so I could feel slightly accomplished. I would then reward myself for every task I finished.
I would eat a brownie for the fifth task, listen to my favorite song for the second, and for the final task I would buy a new magazine or book =)
It always made me feel free to be working because I knew soon I’d be finished.
I find that a calendar organizer helps me stay planned and ready to go, and that mapping my hours (assinging each task to a specific hour) helped me find time to do what I do while procrastinating AFTER I finish my tasks.
