<p>As Tim wrote in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0399168125/?tag=ayeaofpro-20">Solving the Procrastination Puzzle </a>, "[t]he key issue is that for chronic procrastinators, short-term mood repair takes precedence. Chronic procrastinators want to eliminate the negative mood or emotions now, so they give in to feel good. They give in to the impulse to put off the task until another time." Then, "not faced with the task, they feel better." </p>

Takeaway: The more boring, frustrating, difficult, meaningless, ambiguous, and unstructured a task is, the more likely you are to procrastinate with it.
