For me procrastination is not as much related to unpleasantness of the task. I find it very easy do something for someone else, but if it is something needed by me I would immediately fall into deep procrastination. In extreme cases, when I am alone and on vacation, I procrastinate eating and lose weight very quickly or procrastinate sleeping, and end up going to bed in the morning. Now I try to cultivate my desires in order to overcome procrastination, listen to my feelings, in order to find the motivation to do something for myself.
