This Men's Health video provides very convincing physiological evidence as to why we should be more responsive to the immediacy of responsibilities. Enjoy!

I'll stop procrastinating tomorrow.

Amusing and interesting video, thanks for the link

I've read a little about the effects of procrastination on the health before and though it might have detrimental effects on your health, I don't believe a lot can be done to be less of a procrastinator as it is a personality type. Conscientiousness is one of the 'big 5' tendencies of behaviour, therefore some people are just careless, lazy, disorganised and lack personal discipline. Although it's well known that these personality traits are undesirable because they are linked to poor health and often a lack of success, it's also difficult to change. Then there is the principle of cause and effect; if they're lazy/disorganised/undisciplined, then they are not likely to be in a hurry to change either.
