I'm not a procrastinator with my writing. I'd MUCH rather write than house-clean, do accounts, reason being those things are boring. So, for me, timetabling and deadlines are the only things to tear me away from my writing desk and get those things done. Even walking around the house for 5 minutes soon after walking around the house for 5 minutes would be more fun.
