Procrastination

Procrastination is a major time robber. It is indecision. To procrastinate is to delay accomplishing important objectives. Accomplishment of objectives is delayed because they are unpleasant or difficult. Time mastery requires supervisors to do-it-now instead of do-it-later. Success comes from doing the important things critical to obtaining results.
