I wanted to learn about fixing my procrastination so I borrowed a book called: _Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change_ by Timothy A. Pychyl. A quote from the book about procrastination being a habit: > The conscious use of strategies to overcome our reluctance to act is essential, because procrastination for many people is a habit. That is, procrastination is a habitual response to tasks or situations, and like all habits it is an internalized, nonconscious process. I never once thought to define what a habit is until reading the last sentence in the quote. It seems helpful to know what a habit is before looking at material that addresses it. I’ve been assuming that habit was something negative that one forces themselves to do until they’re able to do it without mental effort. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/dfaces-topic-about-self-help-books-hes-reading/1941)._
