Understanding Procrastination as Avoidance
Procrastination is often mistakenly viewed as merely a lack of productivity, while it is fundamentally a form of avoidance. Individuals have the capacity to achieve their goals but may hesitate due to underlying fears. This hesitation often leads to self-sabotage, as the fear of failure or difficulty takes precedence over their desires. This perspective encourages a reassessment of procrastination as a signal to investigate what one is avoiding rather than simply a character flaw.
