Do You Put Off Your Homework?

Your answers indicate that you are normal! You show a low to average tendency to procrastinate. You may not realize it, but everyone procrastinates some!

It is normal to put off big tasks that seem overwhelming-or even little tasks that seem annoying. This habit becomes dangerous or self-destructive if we let it get the best of us, however.

It's important to think about the reasons you put things off. Do you need to work on your time management skills? Perhaps you could benefit from using an online calendar to send yourself reminders. Are you a perfectionist? Perfectionism often causes procrastination in strong students.

You may simply need to identify the specific times or days when you use your time most effectively. If you study best from 7 pm to 9 pm, you may need to avoid making plans for those times.

You seem to be on the right track. Keep up the good work!
