Hey Rosi, It's never counterproductive, you can never get it wrong. What you need to do is start with the problem, say procrastination, OK?
Measure the strength of feeling out of 10 first.
Do the process (either the basic recipe or the shortcut process from my homepage) on:

Even though I procrastinate, I love and accept myself completely,

use "procrastinate" as your reminder words.

While you're doing it, keep your mind open to any thoughts that might pop up. They might seem related or not, also check your body for any symptoms that come up.

So when you've finished, if the feeling isn't 0/10, (or you don't feel that you just MUST finish that work you'd been putting off ;-)), you can do another round on the "remaining feeling of procrastination". Or you may want to move onto tapping on the feelings that popped up. You will be led gently to the core of your issue that way.

EFT doesn't help you accept your problems, tapping on them makes them go away. But you accept yourself with the problems in order to discover why you have them and then tap on them to get rid of them. While you're fighting them, you give them strength. Like the War on Terror!

And whatever words work best for you is the way. Describe your problem as you see it, change the words to better reflect excatly how you feel. You'll be fine. Let us know how you go!
PS I did one shortcut round on procrastination as a joke while a client was leaving once. In the next 24 hours i got all those annoying little jobs done without even thinking of it! :-)
