Are you talking about work/your job only or your own creative interests?

Completely clean, dust and tidy your office, open the window, get a new air-freshener - one that you really like, vacuum the floor, straighten up everything in the room, take off everything unnecessary from your desk. Get a haircut and some new shoes. Go outside and stay there for an hour, don't come in a do anything on the computer even if you really want to. Change your desktop, make your ui look different, if you're on windoze get a styler app.,
You need to stir your mixture up - that's you, internal and external, your environment, your imagination/world interface and the world you look at. Stir it all up with a big stick, dont' try to get anything accomplished. Recapture the thrill of being on a really great computer (isn't it the best you've ever had !! ?) and sail around the zeitgeist being hyper-critical of all the mundane tedious designer shit out there that passes for cutting-edge work. Get some awesome fonts and use them for no reason in fake little projects that are in colors you'd normally find abhorrent.
Go somewhere you've never gone - my batteries are charged by my first visit to a Renaissance Fair last week - totally immersed in a weird unfamiliar environment, stirred me right up.
Shake rattle and roll, my friend.

you need to get away for at least a month (2 weeks minimum). Travel!! it will change your life. But don't go to all inclusive hotels. Go to exotic place such as Cuba, Thailand or Brazil. It's cheaper than you think. Don't make excuses, all the suggestions you get in this thread are temporarily and you will get back to procrastination in few days. Don't foul yourself, nothing will help you if you continue doing the same things over and over again.

I have this problem, too.
If you're on mac, use this app to block yourself from websites that distract you. This helps, when you need to get work done.

I liked this thread. I'm only just coming out of the same kind of "bender".
I call them a bender because I feel stupid drunk the whole time, I can't communicate, I get nothing done, I sleep constant and only want to wake up and watch films. And it only happens during winter.
The sun is out again and I feel better.
