how do you get over the dread of starting to work on something you've put off that is overdue?

Establish a replacement deadline; poof, no more guilt:

1. Notify whoever it is that I'm submitting to (or, to the audience waiting on it) that the thing is overdue
2. Either set my own new deadline in that notice message (if appropriate), or ask for an extension (if appropriate)
3. Your work is no longer overdue.
