Why do people procrastinate?

There are man reasons why someone procrastinates. Many people believe it's just someone being lazy, but theres more to that then most people would like to think. One reason is that someone is afraid to fail so they put it off until later, or even just not do it at all. Others like me find something that is more fun to do than whatever the thing we should be doing could be, such as hanging out with friends rather than writing an essay. Sometimes we choose to put something off. Why would we do something like this? More than likely because we are angry or frustrated with someone. Our anger or frustration with that person may make us unwilling to complete the assignment that they want us to do. The last reason is that someone may not think they are ready to do something as good as they would like. They would like their assignment to be perfect and will wait until they think they can do it perfectly. Whatever our reason for procrastinating, we need to find a way to stop it or at least not let it consume every single little thing we do.
