Show HN: Why Do I Procrastinate? –  Web MD for Procrastination
Procrastination is the avoidance of activity due to a discomfort&#x2F;fear&#x2F;anxiety and subsequent inability to scale the discomfort wall that exists between you and the tasks&#x27; completion. Other comments mention a pointlessness or lack of purpose, which I consider secondary, since it&#x27;s arguable if it&#x27;s truly procrastination if the work is truly pointless. Procrastination as a term seems best applied to important&#x2F;mandatory tasks. Though, I acknowledge many BS tasks of today&#x27;s workplace are both pointless and mandatory.
