Persisting on working on something you don't want to do is extremely dangerous. Thanks to Paulov conditioning you will be anchoring a bad experience to something you want to do. Linking a bad memory to work and reinforcing it with habit. Not good. You can beat very weak procrastination with it. If the procrastination is serious(anxiety is great), you will be creating a strong trauma linked to work. In fact you are probably referring to not crushing procrastination but reinforcing it increasing anxiety and going from avoidance(flight) to fight. This works(badly) and is the usual method of normal people for dealing with it, using deadlines(like frequent exams) as the tools that make them increase their anxiety. A friend of mine had a very serious accident of his bike. He can't get on one without shaking and avoids them because of the trauma. You will be doing the same thing with work, like the rat anticipating the electric shock, you will be anticipating the bad experience just by sitting down on your desk. The anxiety those memories create will add procrastination to the already high level making impossible for you to work. While you will be "in place", "at work", your thoughts will escape with fantasies evading work because the high levels of anxiety. Your productivity will be very bad. Your linked page states that procrastination is voluntary, conscious, it is not. Not procrastinating is in fact extremely easy, once you know how.
