Procrastination: Why We Do It - No Reward

This one goes hand in hand with avoiding tasks because they are unpleasant. Procrastinators typically haven’t learned to reward themselves for completing a difficult task. This can be related to perfectionism where the task is never “perfect” enough for the person to feel proud of having completed it. To counteract this behavior make a point to pat yourself on the back. You may even plan a reward for yourself for having completed the unpleasant task.
