I don't suffer from procrastination once I've decided to finish a project. I may have a long list of things to do, but I don't waste a lot of time thinking about what to do next. I don't have to choose the "optimal" thing to do; I just have to choose something from the top half.

Where I suffer from procrastination is in putting off entire projects. There, analysis paralysis is much worse; it's much more important to pick one of the top 3 or 4 projects. I see that as a different problem.
