Like many, I'm guilty of it. i.e. Checking emails rather than doing my data entry, checking RHP rather than making a (less than) pleasant phone call etc. The odd thing is, if any of us just did the thing we're avoiding, usually it would not take up much time or effort at all - yet we still procrastinate. Why are we wired to do this?
