Dr Yvonne Couch - Procrastination the Thief of Time

Dr Yvonne Couch - Procrastination the Thief of Time

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Yvonne has recently been doing a lot of procrastinating, and not a lot of grant writing. In fact as she writes this, she should be either in the lab or writing a grant and yet she is not! Instead she is writing and narrating this blog. When talking to a friend about the challenge, they replied that they thought procrastination was often a response to trauma. Not big car crash, death of a loved one trauma. But trauma, nevertheless. And it got Yvonne to thinking about why we procrastinate, more importantly why she procrastinates, and whether there’s anything we can do about it.
