I have this problem and I've been getting much much better.

I've been meditating on this subject. I think I can trace the problem to my late childhood. My mother got sick from cancer when I was 10 and didn't get on me to clean my room. When she died I was 14 and really lacked the parental guidance needed to develop certain organizational habits.

Sorry, but this is just an excuse. You probably already have the organizational skills neccessary, or at least the ability to obtain those skills. I dont think this is a problem that can be solved by brooding over your past, thats probably a big part of what is the problem. It was for me anyway. This does sound like depression but you may not need counseling. What worked for me. If you know what you have to do, just fucking do it. Its that easy. You can think about doing something, you can procrastinate, you can read a book about, you can talk about it, but the only way to solve your dilema is to do it.
A little trick that worked for me. I'm very competitive, so when i got that lazy slothful feeling I took it on like a challanger. Me against my lazyness and i don't like to lose. So I'd put myself in action almost to spite my lazyness. I felt much better when i did this so i'd get to like the feeling of springing into action, so it got easier over time.
