Distraction & Procrastination

“Distraction is procrastination’s best friend.”

Procrastination is designated as one of the 10-Enemies of self-improvement in “Theory of Self-Relativity.”

We procrastinate tasks that are disliked and undesirable, because if we do not procrastinate, we would have to face the dislikable-truth. Procrastination allows us to fallaciously buy our Self time fro dealing with the dislikable-truth with minimal guilt. Procrastination allows us to bury our cognitive-dissonance by delaying the inevitable.  This is why, we rarely procrastinate a gratifying or pleasant task, but we would procrastinate a dislikable-task, in order to avoid feeling dislike, discomfort, or negativity.

We rarely procrastinate the likable; we only procrastinate the dislikable.

The most passive and least-guilty way of procrastination is to create distractions for our Self so that we deviate our attention from the dislikable task that we are procrastinating. Social-media is currently one of the main ways of distraction from self-focus and from attending to our weaknesses that require attention and change.
