You can decompose all those things into smaller steps too.

You cannot determine whether a task is concrete or abstract without considering the person's perception of the task. Making the bed or picking up clothes can be an abstract task for some. I consider cleaning my room a pretty concrete task (same with washing the dishes, another task I procrastinate about) so the theory can't explain my procrastination.
