I can see what this guy means because i basically procrastinated myself out of a degree once.

Sitting down to do study my worst subjects reminded me of how much less I knew than I needed to - so I procrastinated by studying my best ones instead.

That was definitely an anxiety thing, and some well time counseling might have been life changing. It's a different thing to your laundry though, which is probably more about wanting to keep doing reddit than wanting not do laundry...

Time management counseling helped me a lot. The laundry example is a small one but often all those small things build up into a larger issue that consumes you, so it's worth treating those as important as any, unless it's just that one thing :)

Along the line, what will a professional say?

Depends on the person you see and your particular issues.

For me I did a lot of time management exercises like making an inventory of where I spent time in any given week and then planning the next week and seeing if I met my planned goals. That exercise is also good at showing you how much free time you actually have.

For me I often avoided starting tasks because I wouldn't have enough time to finish it before something else required my attention. Planning in advance shows that I usually do have the time, and if I didn't, I could plan to work on things in the slots where I did.

There are a lot of things they could say though, for me my ADD and poor behaviors when I was younger meant I needed a few things rebooted :)
