Procrastination

 

A recent posting in the blog of the British Psychological Society Research Digest reports that a pair of psychologists completed standard tests of procrastination and expectations for success for some 300 college students and tracked those same students -- now adults and part of the workforce -- to see how they were doing.  Their report:

“Students who found reason to avoid work-related tasks at university, and who were pessimistic about their chances of success, were more likely, 10, 14, and 17 years later, to report feeling disengaged from their job, and were more likely to report experiencing work-related burnout.”

 

Something to think about!
