I used to struggle a lot with procrastination/motivation, but these days I very rarely have trouble with it.

It wasn't an overnight change, I just tried to be aware and accountable to myself, tried lots of different things, and gradually improved. It took about three years or so, and I'm still working on it.

My friends often ask me how I'm so productive, which feels really weird to me because I still feel like I'm lazy and unfocused. I only have maybe 1.5-2.0 hours of "free" time these days, with occasional weekend days where I get 5-6 hours of project time. I think part of it is just knowing that my time is so limited, I had better make the most of it.

To "drown in free time"... I can't even imagine. Don't take that for granted. Don't judge yourself for wasting time yesterday, just sit down and do something.
