Is this article a joke? It's essentially saying that procrastination doesn't have anything to do with self-control, it's irrational self-harm caused by an inability to manage bad moods about a task. The article ends with saying that the solution to procrastination is to manage emotions differently.<p>These are all things related to self-control.
For me, fear of failure seems to be a big blocker to doing things, especially if there is a creative component to them. What if I can’t do it? What if I hate the result? It definitely leans me to only trying safe things that I know I can complete successfully.
