- Your tendency for procrastination is defined by your personality
- Stable personalities have lower inclination to fluctuate their attention, swap hobbies, engage in short-term relationships, etc.
- Your personality is defined by your genetic predispositions and the way you were brought up by your parents (see attachment theory and section "Patterns of attachment")
- The structure of your personality cannot be changed, but you can change some patterns of behavioral or emotional reactions in therapy, through self-development, or in stable long-term relationships
- you need to know yourself in order to understand yourself and be able to control your procrastination tendencies
- maintain your narcisisstic equilibrium - charge your batteries by doing things you enjoy, by seeking positive emotions - this will help you to deliver your duties and procrastinate less
- accept appreciation and learn how to appreciate others when they achieve something!
- impostor syndrome (when one feels insufficient despite the success in objective world) can be simply perceived as a lack of self-confidence = it dwells in the structure of personality
