  • Twenty percent of people identify themselves as chronic
    procrastinators.
  • Procrastination is not a problem of time management or of
    planning. Procrastinators are not different in their ability to estimate
    time, although they are more optimistic than others.
  • Procrastination is learned in
    the family milieu, but not directly.
  • Procrastinators tell lies to themselves.
  • Procrastinators actively look for distractions, particularly
    ones that don't take a lot of commitment on their part. Checking e-mail
    is almost perfect for this purpose. They distract themselves as a way of
    regulating their emotions such as fear of failure
  • There are big costs to procrastination. Health is one.
