I was serious!
Here is Wiki's take:
Psychological
The psychological causes of procrastination vary greatly, but generally surround issues of anxiety, low sense of self-worth and a self-defeating mentality. Procrastinators are also thought to have a higher-than-normal level of conscientiousness, more based on the "dreams and wishes" of perfection or achievement in contrast to a realistic appreciation of their obligations and potential.[2]
Author David Allen brings up two major psychological causes of procrastination at work and in life which are related to anxiety, not laziness. The first category is things too small to worry about, tasks that are an annoying interruption in the flow of things, and for which there are low-impact workarounds; an example might be organizing a messy room. The second category is things too big to control, tasks that a person might fear, or for which the implications might have a great impact on a person's life.
