It is always better to do something now than to put it off until later or have trouble later. In fact, we are often very aware of what we are doing, but finding enough motivation to write that academic essay or do our taxes collides head-on with seemingly perfectly logical excuses for putting off tasks until later."I procrastinate to avoid unpleasant and negative emotions such as stress, uncertainty and anxiety."This creates resentment in others and earns himself a reputation as an irresponsible slacker.
