Two things that helped me:

1. The Pomodoro Technique. http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/get-to-work/

2. Reading The War of Art can help with issues of procrastination if the thing you're having trouble focusing on is a creative endeavor.

Yes. Both of these are fantastic.

I still procrastinate like crazy sometimes though, so I'd add to this small list a book called the power of habit. This is the missing link on how to make your behaviour automatic.
