Abstract

Procrastination is a widespread problem that affects many university students. The main goals of this study were to identify the root causes of procrastination in college students and to analyze potential remedies. The findings indicate that self-control, time management, failure-related fear, and perfectionism are frequently linked to procrastination among university students. The solution to this problem is to reassess what one will learn from the semester’s assignments, to set and concentrate on academic goals, and to approach those goals by completing tasks as a self-driven way of getting closer to them, rather than cultivating task aversion under external pressure that results in task procrastination. The value of the external learning environment, such as a quiet area away from a busy environment, must also be taken into account before beginning a task. To avoid retaliatory procrastination from overwork, it is also essential to strike a balance between work and rest.
