Hmm... I have to adapt this point of view over the next week and see if it that helps me out.
Though I think that there is also a reason behind procrastination based on my model of how the mind works with the brain, that I'm currently working on to explain in a long post. Basically has to do with the fact that it is painful and takes up alot of energy in your brain to rework your goals in your mind if they are drastically different from the goals and habits that are currently in your mind.
And I'm also trying to come up with a way to be able to make transitions in doing task without experiencing or lessening the pain of totally reworking your mind to fit in your new goals, basically by finding a way to tack them on the goals that you currently have on your mind that you currently have no problem thinking of and taking action to because your brain has already spent the energy to organize itself to be able to take action to that goal.
Its been very fun to think about this. And I've also got a good idea why its fun to think about things. hopefully I'll have my ideas baked up fully in a week or so.
But anyone else have any ideas about the discomfort associated with procrastination?
