No one is an absolute procrastinator - Deepstash

No one is an absolute procrastinator

There are always activities that we willingly dive into with enthusiasm.

Habits are learned when an activity is instantly followed by a reward. Procrastination is rewarding because it provides temporary relief from our stress and anxiety. We use procrastination to achieve 3 things:

  • Express resentment or resistance toward authorities and our sense of powerlessness.
  • Avoid the fear of failure or disappointment, which often comes from perfectionism and self-criticism.
  • Avoid our fear of success.
