It happens to everyone, savouring the moment a little longer. And, generally, we do eventually get up and get on, and things get done. But what happens when this process gets a bit bigger and out of control? What happens when we put off doing something really important? And, what if it’s something that would really...

It’s quite a cultural thing here in the UK, with many of us brought up by parents and grandparents who lived through a war. Back then, they had to make do and soldier on.
