The 2 minute rule:

Do right away what only takes two or less minutes.

Extension to it:

Do something for two minutes. (Starting is the hardest part.) May work better with 5 or 10 depending on the task.

If you consciously skip the 2 minute rule, embrace life's absurdity, be positively accepting towards yourself, your skip or inability or incapability.
