Chapter 09 — Big & Curious
Why do I procrastinate?
Usually not laziness — often anxiety about the task, unclear next step, or perfectionism. Fix by making the first action tiny (open the document; write one sentence) and separating starting from finishing.
Follow-up questions
Is procrastination a mental health issue?
It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. Persistent, life-affecting procrastination can indicate ADHD, anxiety, or depression.
Two-minute rule?
If it takes under two minutes, do it now. Great for small friction; less useful for big projects.
