Procrastination
Procrastination is to avoid doing things we said we will do for no good reason, despite expecting to get negative consequences. It shares characteristics with addiction.
Procrastination is the result of our body trying to protect us by avoiding tasks we see as threatening. We also procrastinate because the short-term reward of procrastination is too appealing.
One way to avoid the temptation of procrastination is to making it harder to start.
