Given this is HN this could be an unpopular opinion. But if I'm procrastinating about doing something, I just don't do it. In fact, I just try to forget about it because I'll end up in a horrible loop of guilt and self hatred. If it's important, it will eventually get done. If it's not, it will get done when I feel like it. This strategy has worked well for me because I've still managed to produce cool projects in my spare time without stress. I also find that it helps to identify the source of procrastination. For me, it's usually anxiety in some form. If you can figure that out, find a way to cure it and move forward. We're humans, not machines. You don't have to force yourself to do anything.
