Yeah, hard agree - procrastination is about avoiding emotional pain. The saddest part is that we usually create the emotional pain for ourselves by pushing ourselves slavishly or not acting with kindness towards ourselves, and this leads to some kind of inner rebellion. Like TFA says they procrastinate when things are overdue and they guilt and pressure themselves over it. That's totally unnecessary, we don't need to be cruel to ourselves for making very human mistakes. I'm in the middle of a big declutter at the moment (actually not only decluttering but moving rooms around) so I can totally relate. Remembering things you once wanted to do but ended up on a shelf, can really suck, especially if the conclusion is "actually I'm never going to do it, so might as well donate it".
