Colgate University psychology professor Regina Conti is available to discuss procrastination as it relates to holiday preparations -- why people wait until the last minute to buy gifts, send cards and prepare meals? Why do they agonize from Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve and then madly rush into the stores? What is the motivation behind this behavior and what might be the cure?
Conti's research focuses on procrastination in a variety of contexts. She also studies motivation, creative task management, innovation and creativity and can address these topics as well as they relate to the holidays.
