Don't put off reading this article about procrastination! It's not just about bad time management, but mood management.
An estimated 20% of adults and more than 50% of students procrastinate according a study by Scientific Research titled Procrastination as a Tool: Exploring Unconventional Components of Academic Success.In fact it is so common, that there is even evidence that pigeons have the same behaviour.
According to a psychologist from the University of Durham, Prof Fuschia Sirois who has studied this topic for 20 years, there is a psychology behind this phenomenon. It’s not about being lazy or having bad time management. According to research, there is insufficient scientific evidence to support the notion that procrastination is solely a result of poor time management. Instead, it appears to be primarily linked to mood management. Procrastination stems from an inability to effectively regulate one’s mood and emotions. While impulsivity and self-control play a role, the underlying issue lies in an inadequate emotional response.
The amygdala, responsible for regulating emotions and triggering the fight-or-flight response, seems to be involved in procrastination. Interestingly, individuals who identify as chronic procrastinators tend to have a larger grey matter volume in the amygdala. This implies a heightened sensitivity to potential negative consequences, leading to more negative emotions and further procrastination.The problem arises when considering our future selves.
However, the reality is that personal change occurs gradually over time and not within a short period. Chronic procrastinators often fall into this fallacy. Fortunately, research suggests that practicing temporal thinking, or considering one’s future self more frequently, can improve this mindset and reduce procrastination tendencies.One simple way is to deal with pockets of time in hours and minutes instead of days.
