Procrastination Emotion Labeling
Procrastination emotion labeling names the feeling under delay in one word—boredom, fear, resentment—before picking a bridge habit instead of scrolling.
Procrastination emotion labeling names the feeling under delay—boredom, fear of bad form, resentment, overwhelm—for ten seconds before choosing the next action. Labeling lowers amygdala reactivity enough to reach for a bridge habit instead of another scroll loop.

-
