Procrastination or "task aversion" is the irrational delay of an intended course of action, even while expecting a situation to be worse off for the delay.

The procrastinator deviates from the task, usually in favor of another more enjoyable (or less unenjoyable) activity. The word procrastination comes from Latin procrastinatus: pro-, "forward" and crastinus, "tomorrow".

Procrastination is usually caused by the association of pain or discomfort with the prospective course of action; that is, some form of stress. This may be physical; such as, that experienced during hard labor or vigorous exercise or psychological; such as, in the form of frustration or anxiety.

The task or the situation requiring the task may be perceived as overwhelming, difficult, tedious, or boring; basically, unenjoyable and therefore, stressful.
