In two previous posts, I have described what I think is necessary to become productive: getting organized and stopping procrastination.

“It’s the job that’s never started that takes the longest to finish.

I think that summarizes procrastination pretty well, which is the second way towards productivity: stop procrastinating.

In the previous post I wrote about setting up a system to get organized. Being organized doesn’t help much if you procrastinate though.

So, why do people procrastinate?
