Reframe a Pattern of Persistent Procrastination

You have filed yourself under chronic procrastinator and decided it is just how you are. Procrastination is almost always a symptom of something else, not laziness, and it usually has something to tell you. This challenges the character-flaw framing and reads the avoidance as data, so you can act on the cause instead of the guilt.
