Do You Proctrastinate?

Monday February 18, 2008
I think everyone procrastinates sometimes. I know I do. There are some chores I don't feel like doing, so I just put them off. Ultimately, I have no choice but to tackle these chores. By that time it takes longer to complete them than would have been if I had gotten to them on time. Procrastinating at home and procrastinating at work are very different.

Procrastination can hurt your career. Your boss expects you to complete projects on time and to keep up with even the most tedious aspects of your job. Procrastination can keep you from doing your job well and leave your boss dissatisfied with your performance. Here are five things you can do to help you overcome procrastination.
