Do you keep hesitating when making decisions? If you often see yourself in such situations, then there is a big chance that your life got under control of the procrastination habit . And those situations are only the most explicit symptoms . What is it? Basically, procrastination is putting off the things that you should be doing now . This happens with all of us time after time .
