3. Procrastination
Procrastination is the practice of carrying out less
urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or
doing more pleasurable things in place of less
pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending
tasks to a later time.

6. Psychological
Psychologists continue to debate the causes of
procrastination. Drawing on clinical work, there
appears to be a connection with issues of anxiety,
low sense of self-worth, and a self-defeating
mentality.
Procrastination is strongly connected with lack of
self-confidence (e.g., low self-efficacy, or learned
helplessness) or disliking the task
(e.g., boredom and apathy).
7. Physiological
Procrastination is strongly related to impulsiveness,
this area of the brain is responsible for executive
brain functions such as planning, impulse control (to
resist a temptation), and attention, and acts as a
filter by decreasing distracting stimuli from other
brain regions. Damage or low activation in this area
can reduce an individual's ability to filter out
distracting stimuli.
8. Perfectionism
Traditionally, procrastination has been associated
with perfectionism, a tendency to negatively
evaluate outcomes and one's own performance,
intense fear and avoidance of evaluation of one's
abilities by others, heightened social self-
consciousness and anxiety, recurrent low mood, and
"workaholism"
