Three causes of procrastination: Frustration 

Causes of Procrastination: 2. Low frustration tolerance (LFT):

This refers to your perceived inability to endure frustration, boredom, hard work, uncomfortable feelings, setbacks, etc., so unpleasant tasks are avoided or quickly given up when started.

The philosophical core of LFT is: ‘I can’t stand present pain for future gain.’ For example, you want to become fit but the effort involved in achieving your goal is deemed by you as ‘too much’ and you resign yourself to staying unfit.

A friend of mine won a holiday for two in Barbados but he was required by the travel company to go London to fill in some forms. He told me he could not be bothered with ‘all the hassle’ and consequently he lost the holiday.

His partner ‘hit the roof, told him it was typical of his general attitude and then walked out on him. LFT is a deceptive philosophy because it encourages you to think you are winning by avoiding unpleasant tasks or situations whereas your life actually becomes much harder in the long run as your unresolved problems mount up.
