Procrastination

Everyone procrastinates – academics are especially prone to it.  But why do we procrastinate?  Is it lack of will-power?  Or is procrastination more like a disease, something that might be cured?  Can we structure our priorities in such a way so as to accomplish more even while procrastinating?  John and Ken can no longer put off the discussion with Tim Pychyl, Director of the Procrastination Research Group at Carleton University and author of The Procrastinator’s Digest: A Concise Guide to Solving the Procrastination Puzzle.
