“Procrastination is the tendency to

avoid or delay acting upon a task or

activity under one’s immediate control”
Procrastination comes from the Latin
pro, meaning “forward, forth, or in favour of, ” and
crastinus, meaning “of tomorrow”
Procrastinators persistently postpone and
avoid or undertaking completing a task or
making a decision.
Why do people Procrastinate ?
•  "Relax. The world isn't going to come to an end if this doesn't get
done.“
•  "If I wait until the last minute, I won't spend so much time on it."
• "If I do this work right now, I'll miss out on a once- in-a-lifetime social
event."
• “Perfection"
• “I waited until the last moment before and it worked out okay, so why
not this time?”
• "This job is easier to do when I'm in the mood, and I'm simply not in
the mood right now.“
• "I'm more productive when I work under pressure, so I'm postponing
all my work until the pressure builds up and then I’ll get it done easily.”
