However, the reason I rejected [mindfulness meditation] as viable solution is that it takes so long to master and this is the exact type of discipline that procrastinators will put off aquiring.
I’d tend to agree with you here. For me, the same applies to (strength-based) exercise. I loved it when I do it, it improves my work, but when I’m trapped in massive procrastination, I can’t use it at all to get me out of it. I’d consider both more advanced techniques, or maybe maintenance.
However, personally, I don’t have any choice about meditation. Once you get past a certain threshold (aka stream entry), you will continue, if you like it or not. People keep on cycling through multiple stages and progress regardless of their actions, although continued practice makes this much more pleasant and efficient.
Therefore, I would not recommend anyone working on their motivation that hasn’t (in some form or another) crossed stream entry to pick up meditation (at least not primarily), but if you’re already there, more practice helps and is kinda inevitable.
