U of G led workshop provides insight into procrastination 

One of our very own learning specialists at U of G is leading a session called Get It Done! Why Framing Your Task Matters. “If you procrastinate a lot, come to this workshop to learn about a simple technique to help you procrastinate less and get your work done more efficiently. You'll have time during the workshop to practice the technique and get your questions answered,” said Joannah O’Hatnick, manager, Writing and Learning Services.
