From Jeff Wuorio in 7 Steps To Good Work Habits Away From The Office:
Know the dangers of procrastination – and avoid them. Putting off necessary tasks melts discipline in any setting, but it's particularly destructive when you're away from the office. For one thing, there's no one physically nearby to boot you back into gear.
On top of that, a task that's repeatedly put on the back burner until it becomes a bona fide headache can drain time from other responsibilities – a workload that fosters despair rather than constructive discipline.
"Procrastination is terribly damaging," says Jan Jasper in Take Back Your Time: How to Regain Control of Work, Information and Technology. "The more you procrastinate, the more you turn a routine chore into something that's really painful."
