This is my first agenda.  This particular name of my blog comes from the very infamous habit of mine. Yes, "procrastination"... wait where was I??... Oh, yes, Procrastination!!! This particular word is common for today's 20 something person like me but really infamous for the elders, yes those similar phoney sounding elders talking about "today's generation". But i would like to clarify that if in their age they had so much influence of media, technology, digitisation etc... they would be equal...
