You can say procrastination is the result of the core belief that one is not capable or will not perform the given task well, or once you do that thing, what will you have to worry about then?
- arcticbull 7y agoThe latter rings true for me; I get a lot more done when I have a pile of stuff to do once I'm finished with the task at hand. If the task at hand is the only one left on my plate, I procrastinate, because what will I focus on after?
- friedman23 7y agoPersonally, I don't procrastinate on things I believe will pose a challenge. I procrastinate on the easy but tedious things.
- Swizec 7y agoPersonally I procrastinate on almost everything that doesn’t either shoot up the dopamines immediately or make the panic monster go away
- jcims 7y agoI always wondered why the panic monster was so great at marshalling concentration, and so bad at defending against the wave of shame that comes once the task is complete and you wonder why you waited so long (again!!)
- ahartmetz 7y agoRegarding the panic monster, I noticed that the only music that can make me focus better than no music is ominous music. Specifically A.n.k.h. - I wouldn't listen to it for pleasure.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoPanic monster is a tricky beast to use. In the early university years, looming deadlines could make me superproductive, though at an emotional cost. But after few years of using this, my mind became increasingly resistant, and now the deadline trick doesn't work anymore.
- rgoulter 7y agoA popular motivation equation: motivation = (expectation of success * expected reward) / (feedback delay * impulsiveness) I feel "easy but tedious" comes as "low reward" even though expectation of success is high.
