Procrastination. I know it well. From taxes to yard work to filing papers -- you name it, I'm the expert procrastinator. I can put off doing anything, with style and ease. I file tax return extensions at 11:59 PM on April 15 without breaking a sweat.

Am I proud of this? Well, admittedly, sometimes yes. I pat myself on the back and say "I have the amazing ability to get things done at the last minute."

Do I usually end up regretting my procrastination? Almost always. So I've had to learn ways to get things done now, on time. I'm still learning and always will be. Procrastination is a persistent thief!

Procrastination is an expensive way to spend your life. Waiting until the last minute can even cost you your life. And when you "spend" your life mired in procrastination, you don't truly live. You are perpetually putting off living.

Focusing on quitting smoking, how many times have you said "I'm not ready to quit," or "I'll quit tomorrow," or "I'll quit when I'm not under so much stress"? What are you waiting for?

The Costs Of Procrastination

If you fail to file your taxes on time, you'll pay penalties and interest. If you fail to quit smoking, you'll eventually pay with your life.

Putting off almost anything will cost you more tomorrow than it will today. I firmly believe that one of the main costs of procrastination is the mental anguish you experience when you know you have something you really should be doing. But most procrastination also comes with a direct cost, whether it be financial or health-related or otherwise.

You should take careful note of the cost of waiting "until later" to quit smoking. Calculate how much cigarettes cost you every day, month and year. Calculate how much of your life goes up in smoke with each cigarette. Estimates range from three to 15 minutes of your life are lost for every single cigarette you smoke. That's one to five hours per pack! Is the temporary satisfaction (fix) worth that much to you? Plus smoking causes countless fires, wastes billions of dollars in "smoking break" time and costs billions of dollars for medical care. You pay for this too!

Causes Of Procrastination

So, what causes procrastination? You do, simply put. But why? Why do you procrastinate? Why do you put off doing something that is beneficial to you?

Life and motivation and psychology are complex and sometimes not rational.

What causes me to put off doing my taxes? I hate dealing with forms and complicated tax laws and hundreds of difficult decisions and paperwork and financial information. In my mind these are all good reasons to "do it later." (But I bet you never saw a Nike ad that said, "Just do it later.")

There are numerous causes and explanations for procrastination, including, but not limited to:

1. Fear of failure
2. Fear of success
3. Fear of the unknown
4. Lack of interest or motivation
5. Lack of information
6. Too much information
7. Indecision
8. Not knowing where to start
9. Too busy
10. Laziness

Whatever the supposed cause may be, most times they are simply excuses for waiting until later to do something that needs doing now. What's your excuse for not quitting today?
