Almost everyone is held down by what some call “the silent killer”. Procrastination strikes everywhere. We all want to avoid the pain or discomfort of doing something we feel is boring, stupid, pointless, hard, complicated, risky, possibly really emotionally painful and so on.
But even though we know that we will have to do it eventually and that we’re just deluding ourselves we still put it of. Often with reasons we know deep down are weak and we really just made up. We get stuck in a vicious circle of doing too little of both what we want and what we don’t want. We get stuck.
Are you reading this infographic at work? You’re probably not alone. The average worker admits to procrastinating away more than three hours per eight hour workday and that’s not including lunch or break times. Are you working hard or hardly working?

Hi Emily, I enjoyed reading this shining, informative and useful post. I like it and going to promote it. You reminded me of my recent presentation "Procrastination on Opportunities" http://www.slideshare.net/hudali15/procrastination-on-opportunities I found that time procrastination is linked to opportunity procrastination. Well-written post
