Clinging to procrastination

Are we clinging to our procrastination?

I built a tool to combat procrastination. Then I wondered: people might procrastinate on using the tool itself.

So I used my own tool's framework to uncover: if procrastination is avoidance, then what exactly are people avoiding when it comes to solving it?

Here are some possible discomforts:

Inefficiency: what if this is just another useless tool that wastes my time and my depleting energy?

Uncertainty: how do I start? How much effort will it take? Will it work for me?

Identity threat: if the procrastination is no longer the problem, then what is?

That last one actually feels especially important.

Sometimes "I procrastinate" is psychologically easier to accept than: I'm afraid to fail. I actually don't want this goal. I feel lost.

Ironically, procrastination can become emotionally protective.

I notice I have been using my own tool, because my relationship with these feelings has already changed. I trust the process because I've seen it work. Familiarity reduces emotional friction. I stop treating procrastination as a core problem and start treating it as signals.

Curious what would make something like this generally useful enough for people to keep returning to?
