Reddit user finds Claude's biggest value is beating procrastination, not saving hours

A Reddit user shared an unexpected pattern in how he uses Claude: not for the hardest parts of his work, but for the tasks he keeps putting off — turning messy notes into something usable, reading long documents, cleaning up repetitive work, and getting first drafts done on things he's been avoiding.
His observation: once he gets past the initial friction, the rest of the work usually isn't that bad. So the biggest benefit isn't "Claude saves me X hours" — it's that he's less likely to postpone annoying tasks.
