when possible i try to procrastinate on something by at least doing something else productive
for example: i did not want to work on today's Amadeus shilling social media post on my lunch break, so instead I went and updated the NeoCities page :^)
sometimes it just ends up being video games though. you gotta recognize when productivity just is not happening and it's time to just play castlevania or something

Games with forced downtime
Searching for a match, wait for some amount of game time for things to happen, etc

In the past I've had periods where I'd neglect my art in favor of playing games or whatever, sometimes for days at a time, and I'd feel really guilty about it. However I think as I started to realize that consuming art (which video games are!) is as important to being an artist as is making art, I've found more of a balance between the two and allow myself to do both. It's weird how treating an activity as procrastination kinda becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way.
Nowadays my procrastination usually comes in the form of endless preparation instead of working on the dang project itself, as can be seen from my years of being like "no I can't work on my comic yet I need to do expression sheets and character studies and script revisions and". And with commissions and obligations, I'll often procrastinate by working on my own stuff instead. It's funny how nothing makes me want to draw more than when I have to be drawing something else.
