Procrastination
Procrastinators
are people who put off what’s in their best interest to complete. If you
replace high priority tasks with low ones, or otherwise "waste time"
by watching TV, playing on the Net, talking on the phone, or hanging out with
friends, many students who procrastinate during college.
Causes
People
who put things off may have one or more of these traits:
- Lack a realistic sense of time; they think there’s more than there
really is
- See the task as bigger than it is
- Want someone else to be responsible (there’s no one to tell them to
study, pick up, finish a task, or get their act together; it’s completely
up to them)
- Become paralyzed in face of their own high standards
- Procrastinate to hide fears of anticipated failure or loss of
control
- Like the last-minute excitement of not having quite enough time and/or the feeling of excessive caffeine and not enough sleep
Effects

procrastination seems harmless and is often joked about, putting things off can

- Incomplete or failed classes
