A result from the quiz What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?
The Avoider
Tasks that feel uncomfortable keep sliding to tomorrow.
You put things off because they feel uncomfortable: a call, an awkward email, a form that might bring bad news. Avoiding it brings relief now, and a bigger feeling later.
Uncomfortable tasks get easier when the first step is private and small enough to undo.
Things to try
- Name the feeling: "I'm avoiding this because it feels awkward."
- Start with the private part, like writing the email in your notes first.
- Put something nice straight after it.
A next step
Unstuck, the iPhone app.
When a task feels scary, Unstuck asks why it's sticky and gives you a first step that matches, like a private draft. Join the waiting list for the iPhone app.
