Procrastination is the action of unnecessarily and purposely  delaying or postponing something despite knowing that there will be consequences for doing so.

You may be procrastinating if you:

•Fill your day with low-priority tasks.
•Leave an item on your To-Do list for a long time.
•Not making a decision on what to do
•Fill your time with unimportant tasks that other people ask you to do instead of getting on with your priority tasks
•Wait to be in "right mood," or wait for the "right time" to do a task.
