Most people will suffer from brief periods of procrastination throughout their lives, but for some it can be a chronic problem. So what is procrastination? Well in a nutshell it's putting things off for another time. Procrastinators will make lot's of excuses as to why they don't want to tackle a certain task, these are some of the lies they will try to convince themselves with.
• They will always overestimate the time they have left to perform tasks.
• They will also underestimate the time it takes to complete tasks.
• They will overestimate how motivated they will feel the next day, the next week, or whenever they are putting the task off until.
• They think that succeeding at a task must require that they feel like doing it.
• They mistakenly believe that working when not in the mood is just not effective.

The effects on our health due to procrastination can be very negative, stress levels will generally be higher, anxiety attacks can also be a problem and many people will suffer with poor sleep patterns due to laying awake at night thinking about what they should have done today and how it will effect tomorrow. Deep down they know by procrastinating today and not completing urgent tasks they have just increased their workload for tomorrow and probably for the next day too.
Relationships can also be seriously affected by procrastination.Partners or work colleagues will often feel resentment as they very often have to take over tasks that are not being done by the procrastinator, they may see this behaviour as laziness and feel that they always have to work harder or shoulder the burden.
