Why do we procrastinate?

I must admit it; I'm not a good procrastinator. I mean, most of the time, I get things done right away and move on.

This doesn't mean though that I NEVER procrastinate. Every so often and every so little I do, but generally it's because I don't feel that I'm quite ready yet or that I haven't amassed enough information to seat my decision and to advance.

Today, while eating a fortune cookie, I found the maxim: “Procrastination is the fear of success.” I don't quite buy the idea. Perhaps in some extreme situations, but most definitely not with me.

For me, fear of failure is what makes me put off until tomorrow what I could, or should do, today!
