There's some validity in the argument that procrastination is a revolt against anxiety so, idk, do the whatever it is that lessens your anxiety.

On the other hand, I have ADHD and procrastination is often me suffering from a fundamental lack of urgency necessary to motivate me as well, so I'm basically a Goldilocks of motivation where I need to thread the needle which, on one side, is a lack of a feeling of urgency and, on the other, is suffering from paralysing anxiety over the pressure completely overwhelming me. ʰᵒᵒʳᵃʸ!
