Procrastination

If there is a dysfunction symptomatic of our times, perhaps it is procrastination. It often separates those who succeed from those who don't.  It causes lose of productivity. It prevents so many from fully achieving what they are truly capable of.  Why is it so prevalent, how do psychiatrists see it, and why is it so hard to correct.  Dr. Jane Burka, a psychologist, has been looking at this problem for over twenty-five years.  Her book Procrastination: Why You Do It, What to Do About It Now, is just out in an updated 25th Anniversary Edition. My conversation with Dr. Jane Burka.
