I realized I don't procrastinate because I'm lazy. I procrastinate because finishing something means submitting it to judgment, and somewhere in my childhood the message landed that completed work is just an invitation for someone to tell you what's wrong with it. - Silicon Canals

You could point out that you already know you're competent from how you rise to occasions at work; there probably isn't much to mock about you. You can pat and soothe your brain with evidence that the thing it's afraid of is very, very unlikely.
