Interesting.
I have difficulties with procrastination as well. I don't recall having met anyone in our realm who says they don't have some difficulties with it.
Generally, I agree with what the article is saying. I have found my own ties to procrastination and emotion; specifically anxiety, which the article touched on.
I think the suggested approach from the article is missing something that I have found to be important for personal growth and also applicable to startups: you must be able to measure your progress. The process of measuring the progress should be easy, if not automatic, and the ability to digest the measured progress should be just as easy.
My blog post from last week[1] shares my personal experience with how I've implemented the approach of measuring (and hopefully defeating) anxiety tied to my procrastination. I go about describing my process to turn those anxieties into actionable and measurable goals that sort of turned into my resolutions for the year.
