Procrastination:

Put off doing something more important:

  • Be reluctant to take risks or try something new
  • Stay at home or in the same old job
  • Get ‘sick’ when faced with an unpleasant job
  • Avoid confrontations or decisions
  • Blame others or the situation to avoid doing something e.g. “It’s boring”
  • Make big plans but never carry them out
  • Wait until the last minute to do something
  • Be so busy with small things that it’s hard to get the important work done
