I wonder how much procrastination is due to people doing things they dont really want to do. Ie people doing a course and University not because its their dream its because everyone expects then to go there and that course is a route to a good career. Combined with hot housed kids that were given lots of homework but no time to play. Its a recipe for office blocks full of people doing respectable jobs they don't really want to do and procrastinating all day.
- jmcqk6 7y agoI can't speak generally, but specifically for me, procrastination is more about perfectionism than avoiding something I don't want to do.
- anthonypasq 7y agoWell of course thats the case. The issue is that most people giving the choice would just relax all day. You'll have a hard time convincing me successful people arent just born lucky enough to really enjoy something that the capitalist system values. They don't view their work as a grueling exercise in self-motivation and discipline. They genuinely enjoy it and couldnt picture themselves doing something different.
