Welcome! If you've ever felt stuck before starting a task, you're not alone. Procrastination isn't about laziness—it's often about mismatched strategies. When you understand why you're procrastinating, you can choose the fix that actually works for you. Let's break down the two most common reasons and their matching solutions so you can start making progress today.
Find Your Why
The first step is surprisingly simple: identify which pattern is showing up for you right now. Are you waiting until the last minute because pressure near a deadline helps your brain switch on? Or are you stalling because you believe the work must be flawless before you even begin?
Many neurodivergent adults experience one of these two patterns. If you're drawn to deadlines, your brain may be seeking intensity to get going. If you're frozen by perfectionism, you may be holding yourself to a standard that stops you before you start. Knowing which reason is at play keeps you from wasting energy on the wrong solution.
For Perfectionism: Aim for Good Enough
If perfectionism is what's stopping you, it's time to talk back to that thought. Here's how:
- Remind yourself that 'good enough to turn in' is a real milestone—and you can always improve it later.
- Question the belief that it 'has to be perfect'. Where did that rule come from? Who made it?
- Set a realistic goal for your first draft. Your only job is to get something on the page, not to produce a masterpiece.
Perfectionism loves to admire an unfinished paragraph for hours. But progress beats perfect every time, and it arrives much sooner.
For Pressure: Break It Down
If you're waiting for last-minute pressure to kick in, the fix is to shrink the task. Instead of relying on a crisis to motivate you, create momentum by breaking the work into smaller, manageable pieces.
- Divide the big task into bite-sized steps. For example, instead of 'write the report', try 'write the introduction' or 'draft the first paragraph'.
- Set a realistic goal for just the next piece. You don't need to finish the whole thing—you just need to finish this one small step.
- Celebrate each completed piece. Small wins build momentum and make the next step feel easier.
When you match the fix to your reason, you spend less energy fighting yourself and more energy finishing. Keep it simple: name the reason, choose the tool, and take one step today.
