For me procrastination comes from the amount of time you have to do something. If the due date for a project is one month from now I tend to not worry about the assignment until the last week its due. The due date has a huge impact on procrastination as it causes people to say, "ill do it later in the week." Another reason why procrastination exists is because we are human and have this need for doing other things with out times and tend to neglect work or school until the last minute.

One of the reasons why I postpone things is because I feel that I have to do it at another time but when that time comes, I have everything accumulated and I get nervous thinking that I will not get to deliver the tasks on time. I think that everyone makes an excuse not to do things and the reality is that there are times when I say "this activity is impossible to do" but then I end up doing it, but when I feel unable to do a task, I block myself. something I would like to do is take advantage of the time I can do the task since I have time, but I misspend it or give priority to other things such as training, eating healthy going to the gym, spending time with my cell phone, are things that sometimes harm me when doing a task, they are great distractions that over time can be corrected if you have perseverance and discipline.

One reason people procrastinate is because they overestimate how much time they have. If something is due 3 days from now, that’s quite a bit of time to get 1 assignment done. So when it's 30 minutes before the due date and nothing has been done, that's when they realize they procrastinated. They prioritized other, maybe even less important, things because they thought it was too easy to do in that moment and waited.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason why I procrastinate is lack of motivation and if I know I can have fun before I have to do something then I will choose to have fun first. Also, I justify the procrastination by telling myself that I can get it done even though it will be be finished possibly 10 minutes or less before it has to be finished.

Reasons why I procrastinate are lack of time management and no motivation. Sometimes I feel it is very difficult to juggle all of my responsibilities and be successful as a young adult. Also, the lack of motivation use to play a big part when I first started school because it was online. I feel I had a lot of trouble adapting to online learning since I am a visual learner.

One reason I procrastinate is because I don't have enough time in the day. Even when I plan on having a schedule in order to get things done something always comes up that takes away the time I thought I had. Being a mom working full time and trying to balance school, having a schedule for my son and myself never seems to go to plan. If he gets sick there's other obstacles that need to be done in order to get where I need to go.And working and having people call out doesn't help because then they rely on me to be there and it takes away the time I thought I had for homework. Which is still no excuse. Im just going to have to try and balance work ,school for me and my son, homework for the both of us, and extra curricular activities.

One reason i procrastinate is because i feel as if i have more time than i actually do and by the time i think i have more than enough time, it turns out not to be enough time and then i continue to delay the time i have until the very last second. Most of the time i lack motivation for the certain subject and it leads me to push it back more as well

I identify with these students; attempting to run to class in a fury. Prime example time management and procrastination led to this. My goal to prevent this is earlier preparation. This will ultimately resolved the stress and raise the level of success in the classroom.

(My Answer is in bold). In order to answer why one may procrastinate,  I wanted to clear up any misconception about what it actually is. Procrastinating literally is the action of putting off,delaying, or avoiding a task while knowing it has negative consequences. Although this result in a loss of time, its important to note that it is not a subconscious miscalculation of how much time it would take to do a task, rather it is lack of emotion control. Procrastination favors short term releif or gratification as opposed to the task that needs to be done in order to be successful long term because of the uncomfortable feeling, hardship, or stress associated with it. I’ve put some time thinking about this topic and also did a bit of research so I think anyone can benefit from this.As a person diagnosed with OCD who has gone through cognitive behavioral therapy for many years, I can see a similarity between compulsive behavior and chronic procrastination. This is because in both scenarios the process starts with a thought of having to do a task or to refrain from doing it . The problematic part is when we anticipate the worst about what is to come if we do or refrain from the task we are supposed to. In other words we have fear of it. Other factors can exasperate this issue like distractions, but I believe this is the reason I procrastinate. To give some further insight into this discussion, I wanted to make the argument that we could actually reduce this negative thought and induce a positive thought that reciprocates the positive “responsible” action we all want. It sounds kind of funny to write this down, but imagine you have a disease that releases endorphins when you choose to do a difficult task just as a normal person releases endorphins when eating an apple pie.I am not suggesting in anyway that the solution to procrastination is only doing fun things, I am saying that the solution is actually training the mind to enjoy the uncomfortable thought or feeling until it becomes something you prefer, or at least reduces the anxiety or fear that is associated with the uncomfortable task.This is 100 percent possible. Now before anyone thinks what I said doesn’t make any sense, some reasons why I think this is possible is because of the many similar situations that our bodies can learn to adapt to. For example, average people can quickly train their bodies to hold their breath underwater for minutes longer by activating dive reflex. If interested I can add a link for a YouTube video of one of the many people who has tried this, and was able to add 3 minutes to their time. With dive reflex, one trains his or her lungs to handle more carbon dioxide, so their body doesn’t react as negatively as it would without oxygen that is normally more available.Another example is how the body adapts without food after fasting consecutive days( with a time to start and end fast), with the same activity levels. Your body trains it’s self to produce and use ketones,  and you actually have a sharper concentration. I think a way to reduce chronic procrastination is by training your mind to react differently to those uncomfortable feelings. This can be done by simply associating a positive thought with the task at hand at the moment you have to do it,or turning the negative thought into a positive one. One has to mindfully do this, and it is something that is uncomfortable in the beginning.The idea is to get rid of a habit and thought pattern you must wire your brain to follow a different habit and thought pattern. For example, a UFC fighter has to do his walk out, and is given the choice to walk out as the fight announcer introduces him as the challenger to the crowd, or right after, which gives him 5 minutes before seeing the champion he is about to fight. The same thought of putting off the walk because he is scared of the opponent can be turned into a thought such as: “Wow I am fighting one of the pound for pound fighters in the world and the fear of this guy inside of me is something a beast like me enjoys. ”. Doing this and choosing to think about the worst that could happen and smiling thinking about it, and then walking out immediately is a way of employing a new thought loop and response to the  emotion. This new pattern drives the fighter to take the challenge on rather than procrastinate, and perhaps perform even better.

Poor time management. You may think you have enough time or the time to do something, when you really don't then you wake up the panic monster. It may work but that also leads you to doing it repeatedly.

A reason a person may procrastinate is because they might have a lot of things to do that day but don't have any motivation to do it. They might feel as if whats the point of doing the tasks if they are just gonna do everything wrong. Especially with assignments in school.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason someone may procrastinate is time. I can say from experience when I have homework to do and I don't think it will take a long time I usually push it off and do it later then right away. They might also think that it will only take a certain amount of time but it might actually be way longer.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason why a person may procrastinate is because they'd "prefer" to do it later. Some people like to push it back to do it later, thinking that they'll still have enough time but end up doing it last minute because they kept pushing it back to the point where they have no choice to do it now, instead of just being able to do it before it needs to be done and save time.

A problem that I’ve always dealt with is procrastination, I feel like it is a vicious cycle to break. A reason that I feel someone might procrastinate is because they could have anxiety towards doing their homework or getting that particular thing done. Another reason I feel that people procrastinate is simply because they don’t feel like getting to that certain thing. They get lazy and leave things to the last minute.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason why someone might procrastinate is the already have so much to do, so they decide that they will do the rest of their work some other day. From experience I can say this because when i have a lot to do with work, school, and at home I just rather do the rest some other day so that I don't over pressure myself. Or i tend to give my self breaks but those breaks just turn into me doing my work some other day.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of people procrastinate because they underestimate the amount of time it will take to complete a task. Also, it is stressful knowing something has to be completed by a certain time, but still not knowing how to do it. For me, It is very easy to get distracted by other things around me, and that results in me procrastinating on something that is actually important.

# data[].attributes.body
One my mail personal problems in procrastination is i always have something more to do. Once that happens everything that needed to be done ends up getting pushed back because things you want to do get put first, causing procrastination.

# data[].attributes.body
My personal problems include stress, unforeseen difficulties, or time limits. I've encountered situations where I was simply too pressured to do an assignment, so I had to rush through it. Some people may schedule a precise time to do a task, but then be prevented from accomplishing it by an unusual event that happens. Procrastination can also be a problem and be brought on by an unreasonable time frame. There have been occasions when I just had too much on my plate and had to put off and relax myself. -Emma Eleco

# data[].attributes.body
One reason that pops into my head when I think of why someone would procrastinate is there's always something else to do. By there being something else to do it can vary from being valid as in chores or other schoolwork to just doing things to kill time as in games and social media, since there's always something new going on. I don't think these are always valid reason's and, in the end, you are just delaying the work that needs to be done, but it's the one I see done most often, including by me.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason some people procrastinate is that they aren't passionate about the task they need to complete. If they don't see the task as something interesting or fun, it might demotivate them from completing it. Sometimes there's more fun things to do, other than the task at hand, which distracts people.

A reason I procrastinate is because of my phone at times I can be on it and forget the things I have to do. Also my time management is not good so I will wait last minute to do things I have to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Procrastinating is one of the realest problems that I constantly face. I am easily distracted by the smallest things and find myself daydreaming in the midst of completing certain tasks. Lacking discipline is definitely a key matter in my procrastination. I lose focus and by the time I realize it, I've spent over 30 minutes scrolling through my phone.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason that people procrastinate is thinking they have the ability to finish on time and lack of motivation at the moment. Perhaps. like me: I thought id be able to finish all projects maybe today. I came to find out we had an assignment due yesterday. Sometimes is over confidence. Here I am doing an assignment that was due yesterday to unlock assignments that are due in a few days. I let my lack of motivation get in the way with the confidence I would finish on time.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like a reason why someone can procrastinate is because they are lazy or they want to do something at the very last minute. Another reason could be trying to avoid something and doing anything else. i feel like i procrastinate because i am forgetful or wait till the last minute because i am mostly busy with work and i get home and all i want to do is sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel some people may procrastinate is because they feel like they can finish’s certain things through out the day before getting to that one task that actually needs to be done. Taking nap to celar your head can be a procrastination of getting something done. Thinking they got all day to get to that one task is also procrastinating.

# data[].attributes.body
Procrastination can be a mixture of things all at once. Sometimes a person can procrastinate because they're having an existential crisis or a "it doesn't matter in the end" attitude.That rabbit hole "I'm a tiny speck on Earth surrounded by other tiny specks on Earth...". I know that that reasoning isn't normally viewed in this context, but from experience, I think it's something to consider.

# data[].attributes.body
My reason for why I think people procrastinate is because they might feel or think that the task can be boring or overwhelming. So it often seems easier to avoid it. People can also make up excuses that they rather do other things than that certain task. I would always push away my assignments and say I'll do it later but never go back to it. Now, I just kept telling myself that it'll be worth it in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
A reason why someone may procrastinate is them having a cellular device and or a phone. Phones create so much distractions because you can do pretty much any and everything on your phone. People procrastinate on there phones most of the time for entertainment purposes, most people like to explore new things as well. So these are all distractions that can lead to people procrastinating when it comes to anything.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason why I procrastinate is because sometimes I feel like things are too hard for me or sometimes, I do get stressed out on certain assignments. I feel like sometimes its a struggle to get things done when I try to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the many reasons why people procrastinate is because of their phone and feeling comfortable at home. See the phone gives you what ever you want with either that is texting friends or watching YouTube videos. Another is the comfort of being at home because at home not only do you have access your belonging but, you have access to the tv, pets, and even family. At home you feel more comfortable to relax and enjoy your time. While at school the distractions are not there and you have time to focus on your schoolwork and studies.

# data[].attributes.body
A reason why someone might procrastinate is the comfort of home. AT home everything is available to yourself, and you feel too comfortable. procrastination is a form of coping with stress/anxiety. At home compared to a working environment such as a library or Starbucks for ex, is you putting in work instead of putting off work.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe some people tend to procrastinate because they are not mentally prepared. You kind of have to ease your way into things, start small by taking steps. For example, you have a test coming up by the end of the week and need to study. Each day before your test, study for about an hour and then the next day for 2 hours and so on.

One reason some student may procrastinate is due to the lack of low energy levels. This can lead to students feeling non-motivated to work and they could just decide to scroll through Tik-Tok, Instagram, and Twitter to free their minds instead of working on homework. This is why it's important for students to apply pressure on themselves such as self-discipline.

# data[].attributes.body
One reason why someone will procrastinate is due to laziness. Not everyone wants to do homework and sometimes people will have those days where you just want to do nothing. But, you need self motivation and discipline to do the work but sometimes that laziness can catch up to you.

One reason for students to procrastinate would be the distraction of technology. I am a major procrastinator and have experienced it most when I am on social media or watching TV. I feel like the technology around us distracts us from our schoolwork and causes us to put it off to the side.

# data[].attributes.body
I have come to realize that the main reason why I procrastinate is because I feel overwhelmed with the work I have right now, and so I decide to do it later because I don't want to feel the stress right now. I have realized that sometimes I have to face the music and deal with the stress, so I don't stress myself out more later on in the day.

One reason a person would procrastinate is because they believe they have enough time to finish the task they were given. If a person were given a month to write an essay, the responsible person would have it finished as soon as they can, however a procrastinator would believe they have enough time to work on it tomorrow. A procrastinator would always push it off for tomorrow to work on it believing they have lots of time which they do, however that productive work time never comes until the last minute since the procrastinator put it off until the week it is due.

A reason someone may procrastinate is the looming feeling of the end product not being as good as they’d like it to be. In a case such as Adhd you may bounce around and begin to sporadically work on other tasks or details till you have done everything but what you need. Yet for others some still do similar things and it’s that looming sense of dread that you would get looking at a blank canvas and feeling frustrated on what to do, it leads to an unfinished art piece of your own.
