One of the reasons for procastination is that the image in our mind is that the task is huge or overwhelming. Eg for studying we see the project as needing 3 or 4 hours before it is complete. Knowing that such a large block of time is required is often daunting. One way to overcome this is to set a time limit on how long you are going to work on something. Chunking it into smaller parts. Rather than seeing it as something that needs to be completed in one sitting (most task that we can put off don't need to be completed in one go). Break it down into smaller steps.
EG limit your study time to 30 minutes and even if its not finished call it quits. (If you want to continue be sure to take a break and walk right away from the task for 10 minutes. You made a promise to yourself that you must keep. Then make a new time limit. It helps to keep the procastination bug at bay in the future. If you keep going ove the agreed time it will be difficult to motivate yourself on other projects in the future.)
Fear of failure (or success) is another reason why we procastinate. We want to avoid putting in a lot of effort and then not see the rewards for our efforts or worse have to keep working at it to sustain it. In this case we need to review our goals as a journey and not a destination.
Also check that the project you are procatinating on represents your goal. If it isn't you need to either make it your own or dump it. If it is something you don't want to do, don't have to do and its not really a goal... dump it.
And yes, the Get Around To It paraliminal is probably the easiest way to overcome procastination on a project.
