I have seen many people who just forget to pay their Electric bills or such type of important thing on time and pay those things with late fee.Some have this habit.But many people lack to pay because of the monetary problem. Which make to pay with late fine.But those who can pay must change this habit.

Ushaji you have very well explained the meaning of procrastination with example. I like it. I agree with the psychologists that majority of the people or 80% of the people has the tendency to delay their work due to this habit.

This is common habit. That is why people miss trains and fail to get reservation in trains. Doing everything at first opportunity is the best way to get things done fast and also avoid giving bribe.

I feel very uneasy if any of my work however small or unimportant is pending. My mind never lets me sit unless the job in hand is pending or not finished. Even a small job like bringing some thing from the nearby market which I can bring in minutes can keep me poking unless the job is done.

Many people tend to put off things to a later date or time...Such a habit is called Procrastination which simply means To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness....

This happens when you are aware that there is some time left for getting the job done like either paying bills or even finishing a certain job- you keep putting it off until the last moment after which you tend to hurry through it, as a result may not be able to do full justice..
There are some who like to finish their jobs immediately and such people normally never have any problem like paying fine ,late payment fees or feeling unhappy because of not having done their job well...
According to most psychologists majority of the people have this habit....
