A faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, Tim and his students devote their attention to understanding why and how we irrationally and needlessly delay intended action. In addition to numerous journal articles on procrastination, he is co-editor of Counseling the procrastinator in academic settings
published by the American Psychological Association. His research interest in procrastination complements his passion for teaching with a clear focus on students and their learning - particularly student engagement and self-regulation. He has won numerous teaching awards including the highest Canadian honour for teaching in higher education, a 3M National Teaching Fellowship from the Society for Teaching and Learning Higher Education. Most recently he became the inaugural recipient of the University Medal for Distinguished Teaching. Given his interest in integrating research and teaching, he has taken his research focus on procrastination beyond journals and books to include a cartoon strip and podcasts at his web site procrastination.ca
His PT blog is Don't Delay.
