Just Let the “New Me” Do It: How Anticipated Temporal Landmarks Cause Procrastination
We propose that anticipating a temporal landmark (e.g., New Year) has a detrimental effect on one’s motivation for continued goal pursuit. Anticipated temporal landmark divides one’s current and future selves as two separate agents, and the current self shifts the responsibility for the current goal to the new, future self.
