Procrastination - Habit or Heredity?

Published Fri, Feb 29 2008 18:48
aahhh procrastination…..what causes it?  As far as I’m concerned there are three  types of people in this world, the first type are those that get things done immediately, the second type are those that put everything off until they have too much to do, ie: procrastinate, and third, those that do both depending I think on the fazes of the moon or heredity. I am one of the third group, at times I get things done immediately and at other times I let all the tasks due pile up until I don’t know where to start.  After much thought, I have decided it varies with the fazes of the moon, the weather outside, the state of the nation, heredity, the environment or any common occurrence that impacts decision making capabilities. In other words, I haven’t a clue what causes it and I’d bet that others like me can’t either. Actually heredity is probably my first choice because my father, mother, sister and brothers all suffer the same fate as I do, so it must be in my genes. Since the successful mapping of the human genome several years ago, scientists have found that most things that had been thought to be a result of the environmental impact on people’s lives are in fact in a person's genetic makeup.  So why shouldn't procrastination also be related to heredity? Well maybe I’ll think about it some more and then make my decision…..
