I put off lots too, but I think I am more like Bartleby. There is just an endless array of stupid, boring shit that I do not feel like doing. And it doesn't matter how hard I try to screw up the gumption to power through tedious shit - I really would prefer not to. I suppose on some level I feel that it is wasted time either way, so, might as well enjoy wasting it in some modicum of comfort.

Just don't complete non-central tasks until someone shouts at you. Then you do it. Can cut out a fair chunk of the 'boring shit' that most large organisations ask for. Over time - like a bit of machine learning - you develop criteria that enable you to identify the 'boring shit' that will lead to shouting, then you do that first.
