Let’s talk about procrastination (DW#561)
In other words, we procrastinate. We delay or put off something that needs to be done.
If you procrastinate, you are not alone. By some estimates, about 20% of adults have regular bouts of procrastination. Students are of course notorious for putting off things and apparently 70-90% of students chronically procrastinate. I have a theory that students procrastinate about as much as anyone who is engaged in a creative pursuit (writing, preparing a presentation, creating art work or designing anything – anything that will be up for public scrutiny).
For the next few weeks, we will explore the topic of procrastination, why we do it, what it costs us and how we can work around our tendency to delay things that need to get done. And to stop delaying things that really matter to us.
True confession: I delayed writing this until Monday morning even though I had planned to do it last week. Procrastination is real in my life, my friends!
