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....

Yes i am bad in this sometimes and it does cost me... I don't know why i delay sometimes but i feel our priorities are not clear which leads us to such positions.
None of us is perfect and this happens with most of us.But as long as we dont make it a habit I guess we are in the right path.There are times when I dont feel like doing anything but just sleep and read,many jobs get overlooked, but later I make up for it by dong extra work..I am sure that happens with many people :)
Yes Usha but then at that point problem starts because it does become a habbit... i have tried many times to overcome it and yes i am getting better... but still bad..
I am sure we all go through such phases , I even miss going for work at times when I feel that other things need my consideration, but end up lazing around doing nothing.Generally, if you are responsible and have the habit of not leaving everything for the last moment ,it is okk to be a bit lax once in a while :)
