While it sounds good in theory, my experience is that this rarely works, because a romantic partner is usually the person who will be most forgiving towards you. But thinking about the stereotypes of men/women in some cultures, maybe I only think it won't work because of the American cultural expectations for the behavior of romantic partners.
What you said reflects my experience in past relations so I agree.
An idea I had the other day was to actively seek for the right partner through an internet posting. You could propose a deal like: "If you manage to make me overcome my procrastination we will share the financial benefits."
