Procrastination is when you put things off or find excuses for not doing a task that needs doing. Some of the common procrastination techniques employed by online business owners can include spending huge amounts of time on social network sites like Facebook or Twitter; taking phone calls when you are supposed to be working on a project for a client; taking too many long lunches or simply not bothering to get out of bed before lunchtime. All of these examples are timewasters.

Discipline is a behavioral pattern where you are the one who chooses to do the things that you know should be done instead of those that you want to do.
