Feeling busy
We live in a distracting world, and it’s not getting any better. We are constantly bombarded with new information.

Impulsiveness
Difficulty maintaining focus in the face of immediate and more appealing distractions.
If we work in an environment where we're bombarded with distractions and we are not capable of resisting them, we're more likely to procrastinate.
