Why You Procrastinate (It Has Nothing to Do With Laziness)

You are not lazy. You never were. The reason you keep putting things off has almost nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or how badly you want something. Psychologist Piers Steel at the University of Calgary reviewed over 800 studies on procrastination and found something that changes everything. Procrastination is not a time management problem. It is an emotion management problem. In this video we break down exactly why your brain avoids certain tasks, what it is actually running from, and the one simple shift that makes starting easier than you ever thought possible. And we ask the question nobody asks. What if some of the things you have been avoiding for years are not procrastination at all. What if part of you already knows something your conscious mind has not admitted yet.
