What's an efficient way to overcome procrastination?

Answer

Reduce the activation energy to start not to finish. Motivation follows action, it does not precede it. Use Implementation Intentions: replace 'I'll work today' with 'I will work at 4pm, at my desk, for 25 minutes.' Research shows this increases follow-through by up to 300%.

Also use the 2-Minute Rule: commit to starting for just 2 minutes. The Zeigarnik Effect kicks in and momentum builds naturally.
