This habit has a scientific name – procrastination. Not everyone knows what it is associated with, and even fewer people know how to deal with this affliction.
Scientists have an answer to all or almost all questions. It turns out that the brain is to blame for everything.
Let's figure out what causes the habit of putting off unpleasant things for later and how to get rid of it.
What is the reason?
Scientific research has shown that it is not the person themselves who procrastinates (sounds like an excuse), but the brain.
He has a tendency to overestimate the satisfaction of an instant decision.
This explains the relief a person feels when he postpones solving a difficult problem until later.
How to influence a habit
Scientists propose to manipulate this weakness and call their method “temptation binding.”
In a nutshell, you need to combine the unpleasant with the useful (for example, listen to your favorite music while cleaning the apartment).
But one point is important: what brings pleasure should be available only when performing actions that would normally be postponed until later.
