Is it really "procrastination" or it something else? [Diagnostic experience]
Procrastination is a lie. Let's better explore it as 'avoidance'.
Introduction
You do a hundred things a day without procrastinating. You reply to messages, make decisions, show up to meetings, solve problems. Then there are two or three things you keep NOT doing and you call yourself a procrastinator.
But are you really a procrastinator. What is this anyway? That’s not a personality type. It’s a pattern, and the pattern has a very specific structure: there’s a feeling attached to the thing you’re avoiding, and your system would rather stall than feel it.
This experience walks you through a short set of questions, each with a video from me, to help you see what’s actually happening underneath the procrastination. It’s not a productivity hack, don’t treat it as such. It’s a diagnostic. There are no right answers.
At the end, you can share your answers with me and I’ll send you a personal reflection. Or you can just keep them private. Either way, you’ll see procrastination differently after this.
Questions
Q1: Name 1–3 specific things you’ve been procrastinating on. Not categories, specific tasks or decisions.
Q2: For each one: when you imagine sitting down to do it, what feeling shows up in your body?
