Procrastination? We tend to procrastinate because we perceive that doing the activity feels more painful than not doing it until we reach a point where to continue in that way becomes more painful than actually doing the activity. Sometimes we never reach that point and procrastinate for our entire lives on certain issues. Often though, the activity in question has a direct importance for us and we know that we must fulfill it. This causes us to think about it but the difficulty of it causes us to turn away from it and to feel bad. When this happens we feel and enact procrastination most vividly.
