procrastination

At its core, procrastination is the act of avoiding or delaying tasks that we know we should be doing. It’s not simply a lack of motivation or laziness; there’s often more going on beneath the surface. Procrastination can be a coping mechanism, a way to deal with anxiety or fear. By procrastinating, we can temporarily alleviate the stress associated with starting or completing a task. However, this relief is short-lived, as the weight of the unfinished task continues to hang over us, causing even more stress and anxiety.
