CG: You are reading about procrastination which is a coping mechanism (unhealthy) in dealing with it.
Interesting point. Intellectualization/the guise of "figuring it out" is an unhealthy coping mechanism like pacing around an apartment trying to catch your breath? Jump in icy water of the hated task for 15 minutes instead. Or at least THINK about what you could do with the 45 minutes you would devote to "figuring out" the problem?
