I've joined the H G Wells Appreciation Society. I'm looking forward to attending yesterday's meeting.

(That one works for Doctor Who, as well.)

What causes procrastination?​


According to Temporal Motivation Theory, the root cause of procrastination includes:
  • Low expectations of your competence
  • A low value placed on the task
  • Difficulties with impulse control
  • Lack of an immediate deadline
In other words, procrastination results from perfectionistic concerns about one’s performance, low interest in a task, having several distractions, and no immediate deadline.

I was actually aware that procrastination is not laziness.
But I was too lazy to think of something else.

LOL @phinds I drive to work very early and I often see more deer than cars. I had three of those near misses one morning this week. One of them caused my coffee to spill on the console. I was watching a deer on the right side of the road but had to slam the breaks on when his two buddies on the left side wanted to join him. Less than a mile later, another deer trotted in front of me again. Definitely keeps me alert during my morning commute.
