to do but have a difficult time getting motivated to do. You watch a humorous video about procrastination that causes you to wonder what

psychologists might say about it. You consider how procrastination might influence your efforts toward achieving goals. You also recall a friend

who struggles with procrastination and believe that you can help this person to reframe procrastination in a more adaptive way to build
