What Do I Write In My Boss's Birthday Card?

Comincio domani...

Vi è mai capitato di rimandare la preparazione di un esame all’ultimo momento? Avete pensato di iniziare una dieta lunedì perché il sabato si esce con gli amici e la domenica si pranza dalla nonna…, ecc.?

Se prima di mettervi a lavorare perdete tempo, controllate la posta elettronica, facebook, o vi prendete un ennesimo caffè, forse fate part of that 20% of the population that is considered "chronic procrastinator."

Undecided:
not take any decision and thus does not act. Avoid this way of taking responsibility for the outcome of their actions.

The difficulties of self-regulation may lead to increased consumption of alcohol and drugs.
