Procrastination is not laziness. it is an emotional conflict
id: 10056757

Many people think that procrastination is a lack of discipline. But in reality, it's not laziness. It is an internal conflict.

Procrastination occurs when we see a threat in a task: fear of error, uncertainty, possible rejection. The brain chooses a comfortable alternative - TV shows, social media, food. It's an attempt to avoid stress, not a cause.

The way to a solution is in awareness. What exactly is frightening about the task? What emotion are you trying not to feel? By decomposing procrastination into an emotion, you take back your power.

Procrastination is not you. It's just your psyche's way of coping. But you're stronger than that.
