Welcome

For many, hemming and hawing is a way of life. We can often get away with it, but not always. People who procrastinate tend to under perform in almost every area of their life, from health to finance. They also tend to struggle with it, promising themselves that they won't put off next time, though they often do.

This website is partly a central resource about the phenomenon. Here you will find quotations, jokes, and helpful advice on the matter. Also, in case we missed anything there are links to just about every other website on procrastination (tell us if we missed one).

In addition, this site also seeks to create and share new knowledge regarding procrastination. Here, at the Haskayne' School of Business, we have conducted some of the latest research on why we irrationally delay. Our findings include:

• A formal definition of procrastination
• A list of scholarly articles, theses, and books
• A historical analysis
• Theories, treatments, and case studies

If you would like to have your own procrastination assessed, please click here or on the procrastination link under Online Studies on your left. Though presently, this is not for research purposes (i.e., none of your responses will be kept), you yourself will get an assessment of your procrastination as well as some suggestions about what you can do to reduce your delaying.
