Reframe Procrastination on a Creative Project as Information
You have dodged the project for weeks and called yourself lazy, but something else is probably going on. This treats the avoidance as a diagnostic: it sorts the stall into fear, lack of clarity, or low energy, helps you spot which one you are in, and points at the fix for that specific cause. Good for stalled writers, makers, and anyone stuck mid-project.
