Everyone of us postpones tasks from time to time. This is quite normal. The lecture deals with questions such as: In which situations do we particularly "like" to procrastinate tasks? What good reasons do we have for procrastinating? When is procrastination no longer acceptable? And above all: What strategies we know to prevent procrastination? The lecture therefore provides a lot of information, but includes also lots of practical tips and advices that could be tried out immediately or even later at home. |
