The inability to see the future clearly leads individuals to procrastinate and delay achieving goals due to singular "inner" perspectives that focus only on the task at hand and the idealistic scenario in which it will be completed. The planning fallacy helps explain why people delay tasks for their future selves, using their positive expectations about the future to justify their current inaction. This becomes useful when trying to understand the future self, because it reinforces the argument that humans assume the future is bright and simple, free of all stress and troubling situations; and this is exactly why leaving things for the future self makes sense in most minds. If the future self is expected to be more controlled, healthier, and has more time and energy to contribute to the task at hand, this justifies in an individual's eyes their current inaction, because the longer a task is delayed, the more equipped he will be to achieve this. deal with this. Human beings are optimistic when it comes to planning for the future; it is only once this initial judgment has passed that we truly see situations as they really are.
