Anxiety-driven procrastination models:

"What if I do a bunch of work on this project, but because I've chosen the wrong approach, I have to throw it all away and start over? What approach is the right one? Everyone on the web has conflicting opinions!"

The only solution is to give yourself a time limit on background research and then, make a decision, commit and just build something.

This is different from boredom-driven procrastination, which is more of the nature of:

"I have this extremely tedious job to do, which I am not looking forward to, as it will use energy I could much better spend doing other things."

This kind of procrastination can be levered to get other things done, however. Think of all the things you want to get done, and then do all those things as an alternative to doing that one really tedious, boring task that can then be put off until tomorrow (again).
