Is Procrastination Treatable?

Procrastination is actually the absence of behavior. It can bring up feelings like anxiety, guilt, and frustration. Procrastination has many causes and each case has to be carefully assessed and treated, but there is hope. Learning how to change or behave regardless of these beliefs, can decrease anxiety, which in the long-term results in much less anxiety and more productivity. Each improvement in efficiency helps raise our sense of efficacy, making the next time a little easier.
