Hi TOK List,

  The psychologists and procrastinators on this list might find this NYT article on procrastination to be of interest:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/smarter-living/why-you-procrastinate-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-self-control.html?emc=edit_th_190326&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=352238940326

 

  The key to understanding procrastination (as so much else in life) is understanding one’s emotional world and how to relate to one’s feelings in a healthy way (i.e., CALM MO/Sweet Spot between attunement and adaptive regulation)

Best,
G
