Question 1 of 150%
I delay starting tasks because I'm afraid I won't do them perfectly.

Why We Procrastinate

The Perfectionist

Delays to avoid the shame of making a mistake. Often linked to 'All-or-Nothing' thinking.

The Avoider

Delays to manage immediate negative emotions (boredom, anxiety). This is an Emotion Regulation issue.

The Overwhelmed

Delays due to executive dysfunction or lack of clarity. Often overlaps with ADHD paralysis.

Procrastination is rarely about time management. It is almost always about emotion management. Rilev's Layer 3 assessment helps you map these regulation patterns.
