Reframing Procrastination

This paper aims to challenge the dominant belief that motivation is the solution to procrastination. Instead, we introduce a new perspective: procrastination stems from a lack of attraction to the path itself. When the process feels dull, disconnected, or emotionally distant, even the most meaningful outcomes cannot compel us forward. The real solution lies in designing an attractive path—one where the process aligns with personal purpose, interest, or identity. Only then does action become natural rather than forced.
