“Procrastination itself is a failure - failure to utilize your innate talents. When you procrastinate, you’re failing to believe in yourself.” - Dr. Travis Bradberry
Procrastination is putting off doing something. We procrastinate for several reasons and one of them is that man has been designed to conserve energy to survive. Another reason is that we do not want to get out of the familiarities in our life. We do not want to sacrifice the little rewards we get because we do not see ourselves as part of a tangible future.
