The word procrastination derives from the Latin root procrastinatus, which combines the prefix “pro” (meaning forward) and the Latin word “crastinus,” meaning “of tomorrow.” Literally, to procrastinate is to delay or push forward a task until tomorrow. The problem is that tomorrow, as the familiar song from the musical Annie reminds us, is always a day away. Tomorrow can never be the present day, and as we know, change can only occur in the present, not in a thousand tomorrows.
