[...] procrastination is not (as is commonly believed) a time management problem but a problem with managing negative emotions.

Could there not be a catch 22 here where the negative emotions causing procrastination are in turn caused by the accumulating mess that said vice so often causes?

I would call that a vicious circle, not a catch 22, but the mechanism you describe is real.
