Am I nervous about the task, or afraid of what might happen if I undertake it?
I think this facet is closest to why it’s taken me a year to read this post. If I successfully learn to stop procrastinating, then I will be compelled to complete all those tasks I’ve been putting off. Since I don’t want to do all those horrible tasks, I didn’t want to learn to stop procrastinating.
The way I ended up reading (most) of the post was through game-making: I was trying to close as many tabs in my web browser as possible without bookmarking them (i.e. reading webpages or discarding them) and getting a fuzzy feeling of success as the number of tabs dropped. And now I have better tools than that. Thanks.
