Here's a link to a forum thread from 2021 which may be helpful: https://giftedissues.davidsongifted...s/248331/procrastination.html#Post248331

You may want to consider that there are likely underlying thoughts/feelings generating procrastination.
For example:
- fear of failure,
- viewing mistakes as failure rather than as opportunities to learn from, grow, and improve (mindset),
- perfectionism (holding one's self to impossible standards),
- prescribed perfectionism (pressure from others expecting one to do better than their best under the given circumstances).

The book "Mindset" by Carol Dweck touches on this and many other ideas which may be holding people back.
