My teenage daughter and I both struggle with starting difficult tasks and we've become procrastination buddies in the worst way - we'll sit together doing easy stuff like organizing or cleaning instead of the hard things we actually need to do. She sees me avoiding my work presentations the same way she avoids her college applications and I don't know how to model better behavior when I'm stuck too.
More people experience this than they realize.
Family members can mirror each other's avoidance patterns and normalize procrastination as a shared coping mechanism.
