Reasons for Procrastination
There are three main reasons why people procrastinate: uncertainty, negative emotions such as fear, and inertia. Uncertainty arises when individuals are unsure about what needs to be done and when to do it. Negative emotions, particularly fear, can hold people back from taking action due to concerns about judgment or self-doubt. Inertia, the resistance to starting a task, often occurs because it requires initial effort and activation energy. By understanding these three blockers, individuals can identify strategies to overcome them and reduce procrastination.
