Procrastination: The avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished
Why do we procrastinate? Self-confidence- Students have weak confidence and they feel doubt about what they are doing.
Unpleasant task- Students feel some tasks are boring and they stop doing.
Anxiety- They are afraid of failing and stop doing tasks. They usually do easy tasks instead of difficult tasks.
Self-handicapping- an attempt to save face in case of failure.
Procrastinators can be self-deception and they are afraid of testing.
A battle between limbic system and prefrontal cortex. When limbic system dominates, you want to do it tomorrow.
Amygdala is also a factor in procrastinate. When we are overwhelmed, there is a resistance and ignore reaction.
How can we stop procrastination 1. Break your works into little steps- If you still procrastinate, break it down further.
2. Change your environment: If you feel you do not want to study in your home, try to stay longer in the library.
3. Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines- You can use semester planner to write deadline and make plan to do assignment day by day.
