Awakening Note

Procrastination: delaying against your own interest

Procrastination is voluntarily delaying a task despite expecting to be worse off for it. The root cause is usually emotional — avoiding a task that triggers boredom, anxiety, or doubt.

The fix is emotional and mechanical, not moral: shrink the first step so it stops triggering avoidance, and add a reward so finishing pays off before a deadline forces it.

Awakening Note attacks both — fast capture to shrink the start, and EXP for finishing so the payoff comes early.
