Procrastination
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines procrastination as delaying tasks without valid reason despite negative consequences, distinguishing it from general laziness. It notes that while everyone procrastinates, problematic levels are characterized by significant adverse outcomes. The resource briefly links to perfectionism materials for those whose delays stem from fear of imperfection.
