I think many people have found this frame ultimately sort of unhelpful at the stated goal.
My experience has been that generally, “laziness” is more of a symptom than a cause, or at least not very useful as a model.
Here are a few alternate frames:
do you actually believe in the thing you are procrastinating away from doing?
is the problem that your job just sucks and you should get a different one? Or a different work environment?
can you connect more strongly with whatever is good about the thing you are trying to do?
is there something particularly unpleasant about the thing you’re procrastinating? Can you somehow address that?
are you specifically addicted to particular flavors of brain-rot content?
do you need rest? (Often I need rest, but then slide into addictive youtube content or videogames instead of resting, so #3 is also relevant but incomplete)
It’s useful to be able to power-through with willpower, but if you’re finding yourself needing willpower IMO it usually means something else is wrong.
