Did you know that Psychologists have discovered that procrastination isn't a time management thing but instead a coping mechanism? When we procrastinate, we're avoiding an unpleasant task and doing something else that gives us a temporary mood boost.

What kind of coping is procrastination?

Specifically, procrastination is an "emotion-focused coping strategy to deal with negative emotions. It goes something like this: We sit down to do a task. We project into the future about what the task will feel like.

We sit down to do a task.

We project into the future about what the task will feel like.

We predict that the task will not feel good (e.g., will stress us out, make us feel bad, etc.).

Our emotional coping strategy kicks in to keep us away from this bad feeling.

We avoid the task.

So no that you know.. let’s face it head on.
