Procrastination is not a time management problem, it is an emotion
I&#x27;ve long known my procrastination is born out of anxieties centered around the task or myself.<p>But I&#x27;m so kind to myself that I forgive myself for procrastinating before I&#x27;ve even done it - a great example of the many ways&#x2F;excuses to defeat most anti-procrastination techniques I&#x27;ve come up with :)))<p>I even wonder how much my propensity toward picking up new hobbies (which usually involves spending decent amounts of money aka &quot;shopping&quot;) before getting bored, selling everything (which I usually put off until I physically can&#x27;t accommodate more stuff) and repeating the process is actually just me avoiding doing life stuff like saving for a house and being a responsible adult.<p>I eat takeaway because I &quot;don&#x27;t have time&quot; but then I don&#x27;t actually get things I need to do done AND find myself becoming more and more unhealthy.<p>I often get asked &quot;what have you done today?&quot; and it&#x27;s quite frequent for me to not really even know (or care to admit).<p>Interestingly, I went away on holiday the other week - when I arrived home, before I even paused (shoes still on), I immediately started doing things I&#x27;d been putting off for months, like I had an urge despite there being no more time pressure than at any point in the past 12 months that I had regularly ignored.<p>Procrastination, and being with it, is a large part of my life. I find it incredibly interesting but if I could pay a large sum of money to take it away in an instant, I&#x27;d hand over the cash immediately. (And thus, this is another example of my aversion to difficult work)
