Every student who has been through a year of school knows what it means to procrastinate; It depends on how much you let it into your habits. Even people who are no longer students procrastinate. This is a problem that stays with someone forever. Whether you're putting off your essay until the day it's due, or not getting back to your boss about when you can work until the day the schedule is made, you're procrastinating. Individuals guilty of procrastinating the struggle through school, work, and most importantly, success. From the Free Dictionary website it states that procrastination is "Putting off doing something, especially through habitual inattention or laziness." In today's student world, twenty percent of these students experience procrastination consistently, and approximately ninety-five percent of us do so occasionally. A big problem with procrastination is the temptations that surround the individual. Temptations lead someone to put off the task and focus on something more exciting for us personally. Have you ever noticed that you always get more work done in the library than in your dorm? This is because the environment of your work area matters. Your dorm room consists of all your electronic devices, roommates, and sleep. We expose ourselves to these distractions and fall into them, causing us to get nowhere with what we intended to do in the first place. Every time I find myself in this position I ask myself "why have the work mentality and ruin it with a distraction?". It's easier to start than to start, stop, and try to start again. Together with these distracting temptations that surround us we can make a kind of agreement with ourselves. Be a parent about our study habits. Make up the... center of the card... to start you need to neglect the project, test, etc. and see how much you actually need to get it done. Understand the importance of what is being done. After realizing this, you need to isolate yourself. If it seems difficult, put yourself in a position that is familiar to you. The feeling of stress and struggle. Put yourself there. It may sound crazy but it works. Getting started is a difficult task but it can be very easy if you let it. Procrastination is not something easy to overcome. Once we realize we can still do things last minute, we continue. What we don't see is the fact that we are putting ourselves in a situation we don't need to encounter. We need to realize what it causes and how much easier things could be without it. Procrastination makes us struggle with school, work and once again; above all success.
