Procrastination is something we distract ourselves with instead of doing a task we need to do. Whether that task be folding laundry, returning a library book, or doing school work. A lot of people suffer from procrastination, and most people do not have the self-control to take control and do what they need to do. I suffer from procrastination, and it feels as if I am stuck and there's no way I will ever beat procrastination. I came across this article by Fuschia Sirois called "Two Counterintuitive Ways to Stop Procrastinating". The two main ways are self-compassion and forgiveness. This was interesting for me because I never thought that first I need to understand and forgive myself for procrastinating, not punish myself. I have linked the article below if anyone would like to read it!

I know procrastination is something I personally do battle against quite often. I also resonate with you in that I feel there is no way I am ever going to not procrastinate, even though I know that I wish I did not. I know that my life would probably be less stressful and everything would not feel as rushed if I did not procrastinate as much as I do. This all stems from time management, which is another thing I struggle with. I think I might try your tactic out of taking a self-compassion or forgiveness angle.
