PROCRASTINATION

              Everyone procrastinates, we put things off because we do not want to do them, or because we have too many things on our plate. Procrastination means putting off or doing something that must be done. It is natural to procrastinate. However, excessive procrastination can result in bad feelings about not doing a task when it should be done. It also can cause poor performance if the task is completed without sufficient time to do it well.
