The Procrastination Formula is an excellent book on the subject, collecting all of the research on the subject over the last few decades. It proposes a formula by which you can measure your desire to engage in a particular action. How GTD helps is that it decreases the amount of time it takes to make progress on a particular project by focusing on the next action instead of the whole project, making you more likely to want to do it. If that's not where you have a procrastination problem, then GTD may only have a minor effect on productivity. I suppose it can also help in the area of increasing your belief that you can actually completer the project, but it won't have any effect on whether you think the project has value or whether you are personally sensitive to delay. All of which are part of the formula.
