La procrastinazione (dal latino pro "avanti, a favore di" e crastinus "che appartiene al domani") è l'atto di rimandare lo svolgimento di un compito o di un'attività che si preferirebbe fosse svolta nell'immediato. Sebbene esista un consistente numero di ricerche, ad oggi non esiste un accordo condiviso su cosa si debba intendere per procrastinazione. In particolare, il dibattito contrappone chi considera la procrastinazione come patologica e chi la considera come potenzialmente funzionale. Se alcune teorie che si sono occupate di questo tema, infatti, ne evidenziano gli aspetti irrazionali e dannosi, altre pongono in luce i fattori contestuali che possono portare a procrastinare. Tra questi, la difficoltà del compito che si deve portare a termine o il doverlo svolgere in un gruppo in cui il proprio contributo non può essere rilevato.
