> Across a decade working at hypergrowth tech companies like Meta and Pinterest, I constantly struggled with procrastination

I used to procrastinate a lot when I was a PhD student and later in academia. Sometimes, it was literally weeks of doing nothing and stressing out.

I eventually migrated to big tech and I now rarely procrastinate. We have pretty tangible goals, good results are rewarded and lack of results would raise concerns pretty quickly.

In my case, working in the right environment helped a lot with procrastination.
