Yep. That's been my experience with procrastination too. I didn't get any headway with it until I started addressing the underlying emotions. It could be anything: anger, fear, shame, guilt, and at the bottom of it is existential anxiety.
- chockablock 11y agoMuch of the article (and Hosh's comments) resonated strongly with me. I fall into the category that had quite a bit of therapy before making real progress on my procrastination. In my case, the key to the puzzle has been cultivating compassion for myself and others--especially myself! :) A great book if you want more exploration of the emotional roots of procrastination is Burka and Yuen's "Procrastination: Why You Do It, What to Do About It Now" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738211702 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0738211702 ). It's not a 'quick fix' type book, but I found it helpful.
