Explain Your Own Procrastination Pattern in Plain Behavioural Terms
Calling it laziness never actually stops the avoidance. This explains what is probably happening behaviourally when a specific kind of task gets put off, why gritting your teeth rarely works against that particular trigger, and one structural change to remove the friction at the exact moment it bites.
