For me, it's when I open my .emacs file and start working on my personal TODO items. The last time I ended up writing some elisp functions to make adding code comments/documentation easier and to auto-generate project layouts and source code skeleton files.

Yup, hacking on emacs is my procrastination method of choice. It is enough a part of my daily life that I can convince myself that writing a function to generate org mode links from epub files will genuinely make me more productive down the line.
Thing is, it does. I am a very distractible person, but using a combination of Org mode's recurring tasks and clocking has helped me get many long-time tasks that I'd normally just procrastinate away done. And all those little bit of configuration and scripting has indeed made me if not more productive per se, more efficient in using Emacs and Org to be more productive at least, and that is no little thing at all.
