Procrastination is not a time management problem. It is an emotion

It’s not intuitive at first but to overcome procrastination, we need to address emotions and thoughts about the outcome of completing certain tasks. Research on the aspects of mental health such as depression, anxiety, and finer aspects like poor confidence in abilities, worrying, negative thinking, etc. predict procrastination like behaviors. Researchers have reported that procrastinatory cognitions are not compatible with healthy emotional self-regulation and mediate the link between procrastination and the negative affect cluster: anxiety, stress & negative emotions.
