procrastination isn't laziness. it's your brain avoiding a feeling

Procrastination isn't laziness. It's your brain avoiding a feeling.

The task you're dodging carries an emotion. Boredom, judgment, the chance of failing. That's the real weight.

Avoidance pays off instantly. Relief now, cost later. Your brain takes that deal every time unless you interrupt it.

So name the feeling. Say, I'm avoiding this because it might not be good. Watch the task get smaller once the feeling has a name.
