Identify Your Procrastination Pattern and Its Trigger

You procrastinate on certain types of task and not others, which means the problem is not a general willpower deficit but something specific about those tasks. The trigger is usually one of four things: difficulty, uncertainty, quality anxiety, or emotional content. This identifies which one is running, calculates the cost of continued avoidance, and gives you a sub-ten-minute entry point that starts the task without requiring full commitment.

**Diagnose** the procrastination pattern. Work through:
1. The trigger classification: is the avoidance driven by task difficulty, uncertainty about the outcome, anxiety about the quality of the work, or fear of the emotional content
2. The comfort behaviour: what the person typically does instead of the avoided task
3. The cost calculation: what continuing to avoid costs in concrete terms over one month and one year
4. The smallest possible entry: a specific action taking under ten minutes that begins the avoided task without requiring full engagement
