Drop the glass: Alcoholism isn’t screwed on your genes

Procrastination is now almost a disorder. I wonder why they are dragging their feet in declaring procrastination a disorder.

Professor Joseph Ferrari of DePaul University has been trying to get procrastination viewed as a debilitating disorder. It really is comforting to note that it isn’t my fault that I can’t keep to my article deadlines.

Procrastinators, I included, have to battle the social stigma against their condition every week and it is time that the public was sensitised to our plight.

We really don’t enjoy lounging on sofas doing absolutely nothing. We are really recovering from the disease. End the stigma we face please.
