This is probably the best advice OP could get. By doing so, you're basically forcing your fearful/lazy self into action.

I'm not lazy in any sense. All I do is work. I'm afraid to show my work.

I didn't mean to say you're lazy. I just think that the same advice holds for general procrastination, which is itself, often related to fear of failure, but could be mistakenly interpreted as laziness.
