Apparently it's about laziness and procrastination. These are mental defense mechanisms that postpone the result for later – usually because the person is morally not ready to survive success or unconsciously does not allow himself to fulfill his plans. It's about the blocks, barriers, and inhibitions that live in the unconscious.
If you want to, but it is postponed-it means that the power of desire rests on the opposite unconscious prohibition. You can't remove this ban on your own, because barriers serve not only for restriction, but also for protection. They didn't just fall into place.
Therefore, you need to work efficiently on your barriers with a psychologist – this way you will definitely not go off the rails when you start freeing yourself.
If we consider this from the side of psychophysiology and worksAccording to Pavel Vasilyevich Simonov, it can be assumed that the reason lies in the work of unconditioned reflexes that work at the level of the structures of the brain stem and spinal cord (read, innate reactions of the body, genetically determined). According to its classification, the subgroup of vital reflexes, the failure to perform which leads to the death of the body, includes the reflex of saving forces. It is, in fact, the dominant mechanism in planning animal behavior. Roughly speaking, the brain chooses the program of behavior that requires the least waste of energy, because if you spend energy now, you can go without food in the future or become one yourself (evolution and natural selection have not been canceled), but this is just a clear example. I think it will be difficult for many people to perceive such a mechanistic and” simplified ” approach to a person, but it is worth noting that: 1) at the heart of this concept, Simonov used the need-information hypothesis of the organization of human behavior (a reference to his information theory) and animals, which, in my opinion, is extremely rational 2) the implementation of reflexes is not just a Pavlovian scheme from school biology textbooks, everything is much more complicated, but this is not the question 3) yes, we are still animals
I believe that on the basis of all of the above, multiple acts of procrastination, procrastination, etc., etc. are formed. Strong-willed human behavior is quite a strong thing, but it is still stronger than what is inherent in the genes, if we talk about ordinary regulatory situations)
A person, on the one hand, wants to provide himself with comfort here and now, on the other hand, he strives for what can potentially lead to happiness in the future. Often, the former will prevail over the latter for not quite rational reasons, which are responsible for various cognitive distortions (planning errors, for example), which results in procrastination. Illustration: students leave their studies at the end of the semester, wishing not to strain themselves at the beginning and middle of it, but it is more rational to distribute efforts evenly in order to avoid blockage and the accompanying incomparably greater stress.
This is due to the desire to get rid of responsibility and unnecessary difficulties at the moment. Sometimes, in this situation, I imagine myself through time and myself in the moment. And all the responsibility and burden of the tasks set at the moment can be shifted to yourself a little later. It creates the illusion that you are now free of everything and that someone else will perform this task for you in the future. Temporary relief phantom like this
