Never Let The “What If" get in the way of what you do!

Procrastination or intentional delay?

Often people confuse the two, procrastination is the act of postponing a task. It can also be defined as the force that prevents you from following through. However, the intentional delay is more deliberate. For example, a student who has to hand in an assignment on deadline has started to do the dishes instead of working on the paper. This behaviour is an intentional delay, where a subject is deliberately delaying a task to either increase the pressure on self to perform better or to shift the focus to let the steam off.
