I haven't found that to be necessarily true. Sometimes I procrastinate over things that I actually WANT to do. More generally I'd say I procrastinate over doing things that don't reward me in the short term. For example if I want to practice a difficult piano piece, the short term result is it sounds awful because I haven't mastered it yet, so I avoid starting even though the long term reward is that I have an impressive piece in my repertoire, which will be fun to play from then on (and I would no longer avoid playing it!). It's an irrational process and I'm still trying to figure it out.
