Description:
“I’ll feel more like doing it tomorrow,” but then tomorrow comes…and…Why is it we procrastinate? Is it personality or the situation? Are we just poor planners? What can we do about this? What are the costs of procrastination? Dr. Pychyl will answer these and other questions by summarizing current research about task avoidance and delay. The focus is on practical strategies for change as we view procrastination as something “that gets in the way” of our goal pursuit and flourishing.
