Yes, Pychil's work is incorporated in our materials.

This is the recipe for procrastination (according to us):

1. Think about a task - "I have to do _____."

2. Have an automatic negative reaction

     2a. Negative thoughts - "I hate doing this,"...

     2b Negative feelings - Feeling stressed, afraid,...
3. Procrastinate - Do something else to feel better.

Procrastination is all about escaping negative emotions.

Something makes you feel bad, you do something else to feel better.

Feeling better (reduced discomfort) is the short-term reward engaging in procrastination.

That's why procrastination can become addictive and automatic)
