One way I know of is to make a deal with yourself to work for a very limited amount of time, so that the goal is not to finish the task, which brings out perfectionistic tendencies, but just to start it.
An example is the timed cleaning routine that Janice (I think it was Janice) suggested to us. Set a timer and clean for 12 minutes maximum each day. Don't think in terms of completion. Just do the time.
