Abstract
Procrastination is defined typically as an irrational tendency to delay tasks that should be completed Lay 1986 Procrastination is believed to be associated with several cognitive behavioral and affective correlates and is regarded as a “dysfunction of important human abilities” in routine tasks and critical life tasks Milgram Sroloff Rosenbaum 1988 p 210 The extent of the dysfunction is reflected by estimates indicating that at least 25 of students suffer from severe levels of procrastination see Hill Hill Chabot Barrall 1978 McCown Johnson Petzel 1989b Given the potential importance of the procrastination construct it is perhaps not surprising that it is a topic that has been discussed at length by clinicians and by counselors eg Burka Yuen 1983 Ellis Knaus 1977 Rarer 1983
