Procrastination
Procrastination is the voluntary delay of an important action despite expected negative consequences.
Definition
Procrastination is usually not just about laziness. It often serves as a short-term regulation of emotions: it allows you to avoid anxiety, boredom, uncertainty, shame or overload. In the long term, it increases stress and reduces the sense of agency. Effective work with procrastination requires reducing the entry threshold, clarifying the task and regulating emotions.

Practice and life
Set the task version to 5 minutes. Don't plan to "finish the whole thing", just open the file, name the first step and make minimal movement.
Common misunderstanding
It is wrong to moralize and call yourself lazy. A common mistake is creating a grand plan instead of lowering the resistance of the first step.
