CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps tremendously because the whole schtick of CBT:
1. become aware of a feeling happening (in this case procrastination). By becoming aware of it happening, you can consciously overcome it ("hey I've been looking at HN for 35 minutes, I should get back to work")
2. start understanding the conditions which exist which cause this emotion to happen ("I notice I always procrastinate when it comes time to update my react-redux actions and reducers. It takes so long and is so tedious, I'd rather watch a youtube video")
3. start working on the conditions which cause you to procrastinate - start to understand what it is about modifying react-redux that sucks. Is it inherent and something you're just going to have to grind through? Is there a process you can change to make the work easier?
Those three bullet points are a very high level overview of something a therapist or coach will work with you for months on. But that is the general flow: identify a feeling -> identify the root cause of the feeling -> change the root cause, or become aware of and okay with the feeling happening
