I feel like procrastination is just putting something off because you can/ feel like you can get away with it. Conversely, avoidance seems to be tied to the emotions & the body -- whether it's due to anxiety, perfectionism, self-efficacy beliefs, etc. I've been able to pinpoint all my lateness within the past year as "avoidance" versus "procrastination" after going through in-person therapy.
It sounds like you're making some great progress! That's terrific. It takes work and perseverance, but you can get there. That awareness is an important beginning!
Fantastic insight and advice thank you ❤
