Well, basically if I find myself procrastinating at work I go do something that's interesting but also needs done and that everyone else is ignoring. I quite enjoy fixing issues with obscure root causes and building tools for other people to use when there's not a huge looming deadline on it, so I chip away at stuff when I'd be procrastinating. Nice bonus side effect is the wins earned procrastinating sometimes gives me the motivation to actually do what I'm supposed to be doing.
