It is the act of delaying or postponing something. It’s usually work we know we have to do … a work evasion technique per se.
It is also one of the most common things we all struggle with during exam and test time. We have all done it and still do it.

Whatever your procrastination method, it can often become a very time-consuming and dangerous thing. Procrastination can also come into play when we need to apply for tertiary institutions and complete our NBT s- and we would hate to miss those deadlines. Don’t let procrastination get in the way of your career path.
