Maybe Later: Procrastination
Procrastination refers to the deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting and/or completing any task or decision. There are three criteria for a behavior to be classified as procrastination: it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying. It is Putting something that eventually must be done to the very last minute. Sometimes this method can be successful, and the person will get to spend a lot of time relaxing, and still get work done. Other times, however, it can lead to poor grades, incomplete work, etc. If one has a lot of work, it is understandable that the person will leave some for the last minute, although this person may be subject to adjectives such as lazy.
Procrastination is...
- what you're probably doing right now
- avoiding doing something for as long as possible, sometimes not doing it at all.
- the art of never getting up off your hole and doing things.
- a philosophy based on the premise that ignoring problems will make them go away.
- waiting till the last minute to get something done..
- "I'll put up a definition later.."
