I think that people procrastinate because it is the in thing to do!  It must be, because everyone does it!  I am in sales, and I mentor many individuals.  I find that people procrastinate because they have no direction, and they want to be busy, but somehow, laziness takes over.  When we are young, children, we need babysitters all the time to watch everything we do.  Then we grow up, and you'd think we can actually do things on our own with dignity and integrity.  I am finding that as we grow older, people still that so call "babysitter", to watch over them and guide them.  People need to take responsiblilty for their own self worth and understand that their time is worth money.  So strop procrastinating and start taking action.
