Procrastination

Procrastination is the act of putting something off, or delaying it. It's quite an easy habit to slip into and one that's super hard to get out of. Procrastination is something almost everyone does, some more than others.

If you can figure out the reason you're procrastinating, it's only a small jump towards fixing the issue and to stop procrastinating. If you're procrastinating because the task you have to do is generally boring, then figure out a way to make it more fun! If you're procrastinating because you have no effort, do something that will give you motivation and effort whether it be taking a run or something else.
