Consequences of procrastination, with examples: remove comment about lawsuits (that needs a *really* credible source if it is to be retained)
Line 15:
*'''Missed deadlines:''' from failing a school assignment by not turning it in on time to missing a flight at the airport because the procrastinator talked on the phone too long.
 
*'''Irresponsibility towards others:''' like failing to keep promises because they kept getting put off until later. Or causing others to be late for their commitments because the procrastinator didn't pick them up on time. By the way, procrastination is one of the most common causes of lawsuits against lawyers.
 
*'''Lack of preparedness:''' such as when the basement floods unnecessarily because the procrastinator kept putting off installing a sump pump.
 
*'''Poor performance:''' such as a procrastinating student waiting until the night before the exam to begin studying, cramming all night, and barely being able to keep his eyes open during the test.
 
*'''Career troubles:''' repeatedly missing deadlines on projects at work, making promotion unlikely, and potentially leading to getting demoted or fired.
