Procrastination

Det här ordet är så jag just nu. Den engelska ordet är bättre och beskriver det bättre än vad det gör på svenska så jag lämnar det oöversatt. Wikipedia ftw!!

"Procrastination refers to the deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite this human behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. [1] Psychology researchers use three criteria to categorize procrastination: for a behavior to be classified as procrastination, it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.[2]

For an individual, procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of personal productivity, the creation of crisis and disapproval from others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. These combined feelings can promote further procrastination. While it isnormal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning."
