IF YOU'RE constantly leaving work to pile up on your desk, there's a very good chance you might just be on the avoidance treadmill. Procrastination shouldn't be a long term strategy, but sometimes we all treat it as though it is. It happens to the best of us. And we rationalise our action, or lack of action in this case, in so many ways. The harsh reality is that procrastination is just a nice way of saying avoidance.

Since gaining popularity in recent years, more people are aware of and read blogs (about 57 million, according to Pew research ), but the general population still seems to regard bloggers with an equal mixture of suspicious disdain and interest.
