Understanding Procrastination:
Anxiety, LFT and rebellion
Challenging and Changing Beliefs and Misperceptions:
Another way of dealing with
procrastination involves challenging and changing beliefs and
misperceptions.
The following misconceptions are
frequent among most procrastinators:
- Overestimation of the time left
to perform a task.
- Underestimation of time
necessary to complete a task.
- Overestimation of future
motivational states. This is typified by statements such as "I
feel more like doing it later."
- Misreliance on the necessity of
emotional congruence to succeed in a task. Typical is a
statement such as "People should only study when they feel good
about it."
- Belief that working when not in
the mood is unproductive or suboptimal. Such beliefs are
typically expressed by phrases such as "It doesn't do any good
to work when you are not motivated."
- Some misperceptions increase
anxiety about a task, leading to a feeling of futility or
hopelessness regarding the ability to complete the task (e.g.,
"It's too late to complete this task").
- Other misperceptions are
characteristic of individuals who are not very conscientious
about completing tasks (e.g., "I do my best work when I do it at
the last minute"). (Dale H. Schunk, Barry J. Zimmerman, 1994)
