Reasons we do not always focus on the most important task for the day

This morning I started my day doing everything except what I was supposed to focus on for the day. This made me think of the reasons why we do not want to do the important things first : Do you have more reasons to share that are not listed here?

    1. Mind wants to do the easy things and avoid deep work.

    2. If its easy to do something- its equally easy not to do something. Sometimes, we chose the later!

    3. It is seemingly more fun to switch from task to task and not focus on the most important things for the day

    4. You still feel busy and occupied, though not do the most important thing.

    5. Believe it or not, there is fun in procrastination at times

I was told just today that procrastination can be a way to manage anxiety. Perhaps lack of focus could be a mechanism to cope with the feeling of being overwhelmed?

Good point @MarcoBresciani. Procrastination could be useful at times, though my two cents is that it should be actively managed most of the times!
