Procrastinating, as putting things off like this is called, is in our character we have naturally since birth; we avoid dull or difficult jobs until its too late to do anything else.“We often put things off although we know

12、it will make life more stressful,” says Dr. Steel, an authority on the science of motivation. “If these tasks were fun, wed just do them now.

The benefit is that youll avoid the embarrassment of not following up on something peo

But it is worth making sure you have everything in place. “Successful
