I have found LLMs quite useful in fighting procrastination.

For myself, procrastination is usually caused by the fear of how painful it is to get up and running on a new project or task.

Asking an LLM to start the work gets the annoying bits out of the way.

Even if it does most of it incorrectly, at least you've built momentum, and then you can take over from there.

I managed to progress a long standing side project because of this psychology. Asking ChatGPT how to do what I think is the next step is easy, and it generally spits out a coherent if questionable solution. Finding the issues with its implementation gets me into the mindset to continue working on the problem.
How does an LLM help you do the dishes?
"LLM start deleting my files at random until I confirm the dishes are done."
