We all either know someone who is a procrastinator – or in many cases, this may be ourselves, but what is procrastination? In very basic terms, procrastination is the effect of delaying or chronically putting off specific tasks. The reasons we procrastinate vary by person and situation.
For example, you are looking at your daily to-do list, and you notice there are possibly some unpleasant tasks or maybe some very complex tasks you do not even know where to begin. Maybe some of these tasks are just too time consuming or just not much fun to do. Possibly, a listed task may conjure up some emotional feelings – for example, a fear of failure or a lack of confidence in completing that specific task.
