This sounds kind of like me. I don't use things like pomodoros, I find it distracts me too much. I embrace my procrastination habits. It is like ADHD, I just go wandering mindlessly through youtube, some specific subreddits, hackernews, etc. Its not a waste of time for me because I'm learning about new technologies, software, tools, content, etc that helps me in my job and personal life. I never view anything I do for fun as a waste of time.
I have 3 cycles in personal productivity.
1) When I intentionally let my mind wander freely -> When I deep dive into a huge number of breath first content in multiple industries. I watch many documentaries,youtube videos, read news,etc and I have systems for collecting which information I've read or seen
2) Focused on one task -> Depth first approach, deep diving and learning one specific topic very well. Or working on a side project and nothing else. I try and make this timeblock last a few hours long, because there's a startup/warm up time in getting "in the zone".
3) When my mind needs a break -> play something like rocket league, ASMR, walking around for a bit, stretching, getting food, etc
At the start of my day, I usually do steps (1) (2) and (3) in order. As the day progresses I tend to focus on (2)
