What is procrastination

            
             What does procrastination mean? Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task, which needs to be done. Basically what that means is-postponing until tomorrow what can be done today. Procrastination is one of the leading causes of late or incomplete work. With procrastination many repercussions can occur; you don't learn to discipline yourself, your work suffers, and you get stressed out. Procrastination like any thing else has its good and bad points, but too much procrastination can be dangerous and cause health problems later that is caused by stressing yourself out. Often we try to hide our avoidance by being very busy doing things that may be interesting, and even useful, but does not contribute towards the main goal. One example would be writing this paper the night before the deadline. By waiting the grammar, spelling, and even my name may be over looked in a rush. This problem can be solved by not procrastinating and allowing yourself enough time to proofread. .
             People procrastinate for various reasons, some people have problems organizing their efforts and keeping on track with their priorities. These people are often forgetful and procrastinate on getting the task done on time. By procrastinating a person could face a bigger task: the original task plus possible new problems due to delay. Another reason some people may procrastinate is to avoid disapproval. People who worry too much about what other people think of them, often feel embarrassed or worthless when they believe they will not present themselves adequately, they often withdraw. The down side of this reason to procrastinate is that many people miss out on opportunities where it is clearly appropriate to be assertive. .
             Some people may not realize that procrastination can simply just be about self-doubt. If you are a self-doubt procrastinator, you are prone to second guess yourself, hesitate and delay. Self doubt procrastinators prefer at avoid new challenges and opportunities unless guaranteed success.
