#productivity
We procrastinate to defend our self-worth when we feel a threat to our sense of worth and independence. We procrastinate to temporarily relieve deep inner fears.
The fears are:
- The fear of failure
- The fear of being imperfect (perfectionism)
- The fear of being overwhelmed
- The fear of success (advancement vs. friends and acceptance)
- The fear of increased demands (as a result of your good work)

Why we procrastinate
We don’t procrastinate because we are lazy. You certainly have motivation and energy for various activities that you do daily. Procrastination is not a character defect.

The fear of failure The fear of being imperfect (perfectionism) The fear of being overwhelmed The fear of success (advancement vs. friends and acceptance) The fear of increased demands (as a result of your good work)
To overcome these fears, you need to accept yourself as imperfect and human. Your self-worth is not defined by your output. It’s okay to make mistakes. You must stop criticizing yourself Summary
