i was just talking about this yesterday and how it can relate to the nervous system…

“The habit of waiting until the last minute to complete a task is often tied to how our nervous system reacts to stress and pressure.

Freeze Response

When tasks feel overwhelming or stressful, your nervous system might go into freeze mode. This can make you feel stuck, unable to take action, and avoid the task altogether.

Fight or Flight Activation

Waiting until the deadline creates urgency, which activates your fight-or-flight response. The stress hormones released during this state (like adrenaline) help you break through the freeze and focus on getting the task done.

Fear and Overwhelm

Procrastination can also stem from fear of failure or feeling overwhelmed by the task. Deadlines simplify the situation and provide a clear boundary, making it easier to act under pressure.

This cycle is your brain’s way of trying to cope with stress.”
