Sounds good except it doesn’t apply in the worse cases, which are the ones where there zero uncertainty that the task will have severe negative consequences if not done on time. Meaning, hard deadlines for mandatory projects, at work, school or life.
I respect your take, because generalizing advice is always impossible and at some surface level I agree.
I’d investigate more on the poor emotional management and regulation that leads to procrastination, I think there, there is always room for self improvement that applies to other areas of life.
Yeah, if there are pathological conditions (e.g. depression) my advise doesn't really apply.
What I see is a push to make procrastination look like a character flaw and trying to sell "solutions" to it. Even to the point of using ADHD medication to increase focus, training courses, etc.
This causes a lot of anxiety and pressure to perform in otherwise healthy individuals.
As if procrastination is THE reason you don't succeed (and why daddy doesn't love you), and if you could just fix it, all your dreams will become true.
Success is (in my experience) more about luck and prioritization.
Luck because there are a lot of things you don't control, and prioritization because most things don't really matter, and learning to focus your energy in the ones that do, will take you a long way.
