Couldn't agree more. Who manages you on the day to day is probably one of the most important thing at a job. Having a good manager who actually supports you is an absolute game changer.

One thing that's helped me with not procrastinating, is changing the mindset from "right now you" to "future you".

When you try to put something off, just think of yourself in the future, when you actually have to deal with it. I guarantee future you will think, "man I wish I would've just done this earlier", when you're forced to deal with the aftermath of your procrastination.

When you procrastinate, yes, you're making yourself happier and more relaxed, but if you think of how you're screwing your future self, it kinda puts things into perspective. The worst part is, a lot of things people procrastinate on aren't even difficult tasks.

I also have a golden rule for myself, where if the task takes less than 5 minutes to complete, I'm not allowed to put it off. There really should be no excuse for why you can't just take 5 minutes to do a chore or something.

I hope this helps even a little bit. A lot of it takes practice and having a different mentality when you're feeling lazy.
