William Knaus Procrastination Case Study

Describe the method, if any, to determine if one has the target behavior and its severity? (For example, how do you know you might have an obsessive-compulsive disorder?)William Knaus believes that procrastination comes from a variety of places. Some causes of procrastination that is mention are social, brain process, belief-driven, temperament, mood, anxiety, and self-awareness. Studying and/or hanging out with friends can cause us to procrastinate by appearing as opportunities for entertainment, inspiring us to wait to the last minute to finish the project that need to be done. Brain processes are closely related to belief driven and temperament in that they all involve how we distinguish our tasks. Bain process is what we think and how we
act. Brain process is when someone look at their task as not important and make the excuse of doing the task later during the day. Belief driven is when you believe you can be successful in anything. People need to recognize when they are procrastinating and able to get the work done. Our mood effects the way we handle situations and getting a task done. When we are depressed or angry, it can cause you to wait until the last minute to get the assignment done. Anxiety and self-awareness are relatable to each other in how they interact with procrastination. When self-awareness lead to procrastination, it can make you doubt yourself, which lead to not completing a task.
