Procrastination Worse...Much Worse

 

OK, just before tasks are to be completed, you check in with people to see how it is going. For bigger projects and lengthier tasks, you get more regular status reports. But do you aggressively check to see if tasks are started on time? Do you make a special effort to check before the task start date to see if everything is in place for the task to be started?

You should.

A recent study, picked up by AP and reported widely, shows that procrastination is very bad now, getting worse, and is even interfering with people’s well-being. 

Big Part of the Problem: It’s too difficult to be self-disciplined! Diversions and temptations are more prevalent than ever. 

Start managing for this now! Help people avoid procrastination and check those task starts!
