If I were to accomplish the goal of procrastinating less, I would also resolve deeper issues.

I found out that procrastinating has become a stress-coping skill for me. Because of this, I have a very self-defeating attitude toward a lot of things. I also came to understand that I procrastinate because the quick gratification I get from doing it gives me the feeling of reassurance that I do have control over time and what happens. I am scared of the unknown.

I used to joke about procrastinating, like saying I have higher standards of it than other people. But it’s just sad now ever since I uncovered my issues.
