Procrastination is the avoidance of activity due to a discomfort/fear/anxiety and subsequent inability to scale the discomfort wall that exists between you and the tasks' completion.

Incorrect. The dictionary definition of procrastination is To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness or To postpone or delay needlessly. Literally meaning, from Latin, putting off until tomorrow. I procrastinate way too much, but because I get bored, distracted and I'm lazy. None of which is a discomfort, fear or anxiety.

The dictionary is holding you back my friend :)

Nope, I absolutely don't feel the need to ascribe my negative habits to some fear or anxiety whatever thing. Not everything in life is a drama. I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and my personal opinion is that ascribing a negative trait (procrastination) to something that is somehow "external" is a subtle refusal to take responsibility. Often (and I am not saying this is the case for OP) the "oh, this is a fear or anxiety I have" is followed by either the direct or implied expression of "so it isn't really something I can do anything about right now".

That is the attitude I found to be holding myself back in a dark past. What turned the page for me was reading "Invictus" from Henley, who was a man that was absolutely beaten and battered by life, and still refused to give up:

  Out of the night that covers me,  
  Black as the Pit from pole to pole,  
  I thank whatever gods may be  
  For my unconquerable soul.
  
  In the fell clutch of circumstance  
  I have not winced nor cried aloud.  
  Under the bludgeonings of chance  
  My head is bloody, but unbowed.
  
  Beyond this place of wrath and tears  
  Looms but the Horror of the shade,  
  And yet the menace of the years  
  Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
  
  It matters not how strait the gate,  
  How charged with punishments the scroll.  
  I am the master of my fate:  
  I am the captain of my soul.

Own your shit.

I don't give up and I own my shit, not sure what the contradiction is here. That poem could be better, how about Preface to a Twenty Volume Suicide Note:

   And now, each night I count the stars,
   And each night I get the same number.
   And when they will not come to be counted,
   I count the holes they leave.

There's been plenty of research that suggests that at a substantial proportion of procrastination is due to discomforts and anxieties, so I wouldn't dismiss it that quickly.
