Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill. ~ Christopher Parker
Procrastination is too familiar a tendency that we all give in to at some point or the other. If you think of those several occasions when you waited till the last moment to do your work, it won't take much for you to realize that procrastination is more of a behavioral problem than a time management issue. There would be instances when:
- You managed to complete your assignment just at the nick of time.
- You were so lost in surfing the net that you ended up doing a report past its deadline.
- You did not pay up the bill till the last moment and then paid the fine for it.
- You did not leave on time and turned up 15 minutes late for the urgent meeting.
Mostly you would be aware of what you should be doing and when, and yet you simply can’t get yourself to do certain tasks. As you postpone your work and leave it for the last second, many things that were not so pressing before, suddenly become urgent and call for your attention.
