== Implications == LFT has been suggested as a main cause of '''[[procrastination]]'''. According to Dr. Sarah Edelman, LFT causes us to avoid difficult to endure situations and sometimes to avoid them altogether. This can be a problem because 'achieving many of the things that are important and worthwhile requires us to take actions that involve some discomfort.'<ref>{{cite book|last1=Edelman|first1=Sarah|title=Change your thinking : positive and practical ways to overcome stress, negative emotions and self-defeating behaviour using CBT|date=2002|publisher=ABC Books|location=Sydney|isbn=978-0733310188}}</ref> Avoiding difficult situations and tasks can also prevent us from dealing constructively with problems, such as ending unpleasant relationships, improving unhealthy lifestyles, and moving on from dissatisfying jobs. Moreover, tasks perceived as boring, difficult or demanding of greater effort, are said to make a person more likely to procrastinate.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Harrington|first=Neil|year=2005|title=It's too difficult!
