Putting off until tomorrow what you should do today may seem harmless, but procrastination can wreck havoc on your life by increasing stress and aggravating existing anxieties and feelings of guilt, powerlessness and worthlessness.  The first step to tackling procrastination is to recognize that it stems from habit.  All you need to do is adopt new habits to replace the old ones.
