How-to articles, self-help books, and student hotlines want us to know that procrastination, meaning the constant procrastination of tasks, is bad. It doesn't have to be pathological first, as the definition of the word would have it. Everyone knows the procrastination of unpleasant things. And that's where counselor udos and Instagram coaches see their chance. They tell us that procrastination is a habit that needs to be broken. Like candy from the Super Fit Yoga meal plan. We would only incriminate ourselves in the time when we don't do the tax return, don't open the bills, don't answer the friend and don't start the term paper. Then only we are to blame and we become our own undoing. First comes repression, then self-loathing. In the end, most of the time it wouldn't even have been worth it because a threatening cloud hung over us during all the nice dawdling.
But this demonization is based on three big lies.
