This is more of a psychology question but why does the mind procrastinate and what helps it stop?
Pie

people procrastinate because they're avoiding something they know will make them emotionally unpleasant by doing that task, so instead, they do something that provides a temporary mood boost. Procrastination itself causes shame and guilt, leading people to procrastinate even further.

your physical abilities rely a lot on your mental strength, if you feel like you've been procrastinating, try doing things to boost your overall mental health.
