1. I use Quiver.app to plan my week/day and to track what i'm working on right now in the moment. Any intermediate output from my work gets tracked (eg. preparing important commands, saving output of important commands) and any little task that pops up gets added to an impromptu to-do list. This keeps me focussed and stops me forgetting my place in what I'm working on in case I get distracted. At the end of the day/week I ruthlessly evaluate what must be carried over and what can spill on.
2. Learn to offload work to juniors. Create tickets and dump them in your backlog. Work with your manager to make sure that "work that is not an efficient use of my time" gets handled my someone else. Anything that drains your energy or seems tedious and can be a learning opportunity for a junior. Use your 'procrastination' as a signal that whatever you're working on should be assigned to someone else.
