I find I procrastinate because I tend to be a perfectionist. If I don't think I can put 100% effort into something, I just don't do it.

And then there's self-sabotaging. I excel at this. If I'm in the process of doing something, I tend to quit if it gets too much. I've quit big things like college or little things like crafts. And once I quit, I put off the idea of re-starting for a long time.

But there is also prioritizing. Some things I just put off because there are more important things to do. Because of my depression, some times things like sleep or eating breakfast or feeding the dogs are the biggest victories of my day. Things like cleaning, reading a book my T suggested, etc. just aren't that important.
