If I keep drinking this, I might be increasing my chances of getting cancer by the factor of 10." Is this procrastination? The procrastination only comes into it there if you keep on drinking said milk, telling yourself that the next milk you buy will be organic, but then carrying on drinking that same milk. Procrastination is putting off what you ought to be doing NOW until another time...tomorrow perhaps...or next week. It's not really putting off, it's more like putting yourself down. You know, you could be doing something else, but your brain sets out to do the least, as it thinks your not capable to do something far more worthy. It's a physiological reflex.
