Procrastination affects an individual's time, probably causing to delay or put off something which are previously planned. Because of procrastination people often delay the tasks or assignments that might likely be done earlier. The anxiety of delaying or putting off something can also reflect on an individual's mind and may affect attention and concentration. Procrastination is not a problem of time management or planning. Procrastinators are not different in their ability to estimate time, although they are more optimistic than others.
"Telling someone who procrastinates to buy a weekly planner is like telling someone with chronic depression to just cheer up," says Dr. Ferrari. - Waste of time: Due to procrastination, many people waste their time unnecessarily. They tend to postpone their activities, thinking that it can be done after some time, but in reality that time never comes. - Missing Deadlines: The person will suffer to meet the deadline for the task. They will be backed out into a corner with no end until the task is finished.
