To still feel productive and get that high from getting stuff done. I honestly spend hours and hours formatting my reports/papers. I think, I got a few compliments in the past (just the average kind people say when it's clear someone put effort into something) and that solidified my procrastination.

It's usually at least a 2:1 ratio of formatting to actually writing/researching content...

I need help...

The amount of time I spent going down into the deepest depths of LaTeX magic is probably larger than the amount of time spent on actual work for my master's thesis.

Ah, I do the same with figures! Hours spent just to aling them perfectly

I spend three hours before every paper trying to find cool software to help me focus/write... only to end up writing it all in word.

Usually 15-20 minutes browsing fonts too... only to change it to times new roman when I'm done because it's required
