Ps purvey Procrastination? I'm not sure this is the case:
If someone is putting something off because they aren't sure they should do it, or they are indecisive, that seems like P.
If someone is putting something off because of a strong dislike of it, then that seems decisive, like J.
Traditionally in American culture what is portrayed as procrastination? Not doing homework, not taking out the trash, etc. These are all tasks that people put off because they are decidedly against doing them, not because of uncertainty. In fact, in popular culture I would say it's far more rare for procrastination to be portrayed as a function of indecisiveness. An example of this would be, I suppose, one of those made for TV movies where the high school kid isn't sure they want to go to college, but then they have a transformative experience of some sort and make up their mind to get their degree and pursue a career.
Thoughts, feelings, decisions, indecisions?
