Procrastination




"Procrastination is the seed of self-destruction."
-- Matthew Burton

What is Procrastination ? (Wikipedia)

Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task to a later time. Psychologist and author Neil Fiore defines procrastination as:

"a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision."[1]

For the person procrastinating this may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of crisis, and the chagrin of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.
