> One reason why people procrastinate is perfectionism.

Is it though? Or is it something nice to tell ourselves?

I don’t know if there is correlation here. I have seen poeple procrastinating with no sense of details and the reverse is true too.



Seems like it. I don't think the correlation described is false.

What you're saying about people procrastinating for other reasons, is the difference between the phrase "one reason why people procrastinate is perfectionism" and the phrase "the only reason why people procrastinate is perfectionism".

As in, people can procrastinate for any of multiple reasons, and perfectionism is one of those reasons.


“One reason” doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a prevailing reason, and there are certainly other reasons.
