Avoider

Allergic to starting

Anxious · Cleaning · Hiding

Your inbox is a minefield and your kitchen has never been cleaner.

What this archetype looks like

Your dominant procrastination type is the Avoider. The work itself isn't the hard part — the feeling of starting is. You sidestep tasks that could expose you to failure or judgment, often using productive-looking distractions (cleaning, organising, "research"). What helps isn't more discipline; it's shrinking the first step until it's too small to fear.
