Hillary Rettig wrote a book called _The Lifelong Activist_ that addresses procrastination (among other issues). She claims that procrastination comes from perfectionism and that giving up on getting things perfect will end your procrastination.
I'm not sure this is 100% true for all people but I found it to be a helpful way to think about things. The book is worth reading overall, and I think a lot of the advice in it would apply to anyone who wants to be able to spend a large portion of their life on focused work, whether that's activism, running a company, parenting, etc.
