The best - and worst - thing I've done had cured my procrastination issues. It's essentially a personal moon shot system wherein I describe my perfect 5 years, 1 year, month, week and day. Like a pace car doppelganger. No human could do what I set out to do, but I work at it tirelessly. My productivity is gobs better than it was, I get more done on time than any other time in my life.
The 'bad' part is it still feels like perpetual failure. Even if I do 10x more in a day than I did 5 years ago, I only did 40% of my perfect day. I never feel satisfied. It's depressing.
So if you're willing to sacrifice mental health for productivity, try my system. Maybe it will work better for you. Maybe it's worthwhile in the short term.
It doesn't seem like you need to sacrifice mental health at all: your productivity is up 10x on 5 years ago, can't you be happy about that, while still acknowledging there is room for improvement?
Apparently, no. Like I said, it's a pace car, a lure. I'll never catch it. I can't complete 10 of 15 impossible daily tasks and be satiated. It may just be my personality.
