From the reading notes of the book “Introduction to the Pomodoro Technique”.
from Leverage Memo: Introduction to the Pomodoro Technique - Why does postpone happen?
-
Stress.
- Sense of being made to do things by others
- Pressure to be perfect
- Fear of failure or criticism
-
Postponement temporarily relieves these stresses.
- The behavior of “putting off” is reinforced because of the mental rewards this provides.
- But this is just Borrowing peace of mind from the future.
- The more you borrow, the more you suffer with interest.
-
Stress comes from within you.
-
peace of mind peace (esp. public peace) stress-free stressless
