Berkman, a Psychologist wrote about various problems we procrastinate. One that caught my attention was that it’s a choice whether to complete an assignment, do something fun or simply nothing. He quotes “When the value of something else outweighs the value of working now.” More clearly students don’t see the value of their homework any better than going out to a party and having fun so they leave homework undone and so something more pleasurable.
A solution for this problem of procrastination Dr. Berkman suggests that you should change the way you value things. For instance increasing the value of your homework a decreasing the importance of going to a party. For example, you could think about how it’s important to maintain a good G.P.A to transfer to your dream University over going to a party where you won’t even know more than half of the people and you don’t even like dancing.
Majority of students of all grade levels procrastinate for variety of reasons but we can work on fixing this issue. We just need to figure out what is making us but what we need to do aside and end up not doing it or finishing it the last minute. Once we understand what it is we can work on fixing it. We can still go out and do our things as long as we manage everything we do properly, we need to do what’s more important first and prevent stressing about it later
