Study Finds Over 70% of Students Experience Procrastination and Stress
A recent US study found that over 70% of students experience procrastination, making it one of the most common lifestyle challenges alongside stress. Procrastination involves voluntarily delaying important tasks, often due to difficulties in self-regulation and concerns about self-image. While it may provide short-term relief, it can negatively affect academic performance and increase stress. Understanding these factors can help students develop strategies to manage procrastination and stay on track with their studies.
