Procrastination
A self-reflection for the task that keeps waiting, even when you know what to do.
Name the task. Where are you when you turn away from it, and what do you do instead?

Your draft stays in this browser until you send it. Then Conscious Living AI writes back. Nothing you write is kept on our servers unless you save or email it, or have Plus with automatic saving on. It stays in this browser until you press Erase. What happens to what you write
You leave with
- A look at the moment you turn away, seen from outside
- One thing from your own experience that doesn’t match how you picture starting
- Your first move, named, and one question to notice next time
A task can take ten minutes and still wait for weeks.
This reflection looks at the moment you would start: how the task feels there, how you picture the first few minutes, and the first thing you would do.
About this reflection
Procrastination is a free, 3-minute guided reflection for a task you keep putting off. It looks at the moment you turn away from it and how you picture starting, and ends with your first move and one question to notice next time.
This reflection draws on research into the moment we put a task off, and how we picture starting. More in the Procrastination field guide. How it works
