Procrastination is not laziness. Research shows that procrastinators are often highly motivated and ambitious individuals who are paralyzed by fear of failure or perfectionism.
Your brain is wired to procrastinate. Our brains are designed to prioritize immediate pleasure over long-term rewards. This is why we often put off tasks that seem boring or overwhelming.
Procrastination can be a form of self-protection.
Sometimes, we procrastinate because we’re afraid of success or the responsibilities that come with it, e.g taxes. Our subconscious mind may be trying to protect us from feeling overwhelmed. (This is a big one. I’ll share my story another day)
Procrastination can lead to a cycle of guilt and shame
The more we procrastinate, the more guilty and ashamed we feel. This can lead to a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.
