> When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.
Very frankly, this is not my experience and sounds like pseudo-pop-psychology. Yes, sometimes the task is too hard for me and consequently I dont know where to start.
But really, I am way more likely to fail to do boring "I know exactly what to do" projects and chores. I know exactly where to start with vacuum cleaning or washing dishes. I have zero worry that I will fail. It is just that, well watching videos is more fun and require less effort. Quite similar to what people normally call laziness.
