"Author David Allen brings up two major psychological causes of procrastination at work and in life which are related to anxiety, not laziness. The first category comprises things too small to worry about, tasks that are an annoying interruption in the flow of things, and for which there are low-impact workarounds; an example might be organizing a messy room. The second category comprises things too big to control, tasks that a person might fear, or for which the implications might have a great impact on a person's life; an example might be the adult children of a deteriorating elderly parent deciding what living arrangement would be best or a student facing an important exam for their education. A person might unconsciously overestimate or underestimate the scale of a task if procrastination has become a habit."

I definitely agree with this article. I do not procrastination because I am lazy. I actually do not believe I am lazy at all. I procrastinate over the little things that over time is not a big deal at all. I only make it a big deal by waiting so long to begin working on it. Things that are too big, on the other hand, I definitely fear and get very anxious over and try to put it off so I do not have to think about it. But in the end, I think about it more because I know that I am putting it off until the end. I tend to over and under estimate different things, and that is one major reason why I procrastinate so much! For example, I thought these blogs would take up a lot of my time, but now that I have begun to write them I found that it is actually a very simple thing to do!
