Procrastination

             Habits are things we do continually, over and over again, simply because if we not to do them, would make us uncomfortable. It might be physical or mental. To get rid of these uncomfortable feelings we carry out our habit. However, human is not perfect. Everybody must get their own bad habits, it is just the matter of how big or small they are.
