The Cost is Worth It: Crushing Threat Stressor Procrastination

When people talk about procrastination, it’s almost always about tasks they put off doing. The tasks can be related to challenge stressors–too much to do in too little time–or hindrance stressors–barriers that block you from carrying out the job. The solutions to these stressors can be effective and may even energize you. The solutions renew your sense of control, mastery, and productivity.

But threat stressors are a different story.

Threat stressors take a heavy toll on your social and emotional health, and even on your body. You can disarm the myth that keeps so many people locked into the procrastination related to threat stressors and correct the misconceptions about how to tackle that procrastination.
