What is procrastination?

Some people mistake procrastination for ‘laziness’, however, procrastination is a decision to delay or not complete a task or goal, and doing something of lesser importance that can then lead to negative consequences.

What do you procrastinate about? Procrastination does not mean that everyone necessarily puts everything off in their lives.

However, we may find we do it certain parts of our life, for example:

  • Work or study
    Exercise, healthy eating, health check-ups, making dental appointments

For some people, they might find it difficult to stay on top of everything and areas where procrastination reigns.
