Excerpt
However, it is crucial to understand why we are struggling to do the work in the first place.
Often, our procrastination triggers are emotional rather than rational, which makes it hard to analyse them in an objective way.
The higher the emotional aversion to a task, the more likely we are to procrastinate.
Researchers have identified four different phases we need to go through in order to complete a task: inception, planning, action, and termination.
The idea of boredom is an extremely strong procrastination trigger, which can often prevent us from even getting started on a task.
Frustrating tasks are often linked to a lack of control and a feeling of helplessness, which may lead to procrastination.
The higher the level of difficulty, the more likely we are to procrastinate by working on easier but less important tasks instead.
- Procrastination can arise when we don’t find personal meaning in a task — which can happen even after we have started the work.
Each procrastination trigger can be reversed to stop procrastinating.
Again, procrastination itself is not bad. It’s a symptom which needs to be understood and addressed.
