if good things come to those who wait
wouldn’t procrastination via we’re to
this is what I think about whenever I’m
putting up an assignment while watching
Netflix are reading an unrelated to
school book in fact I think about this
so often that it has become part of my
life philosophy truth be told this week
has been exceedingly uncommon for me
especially today I woke up and for the
first time in a while I did not have to
hope for any stop lights to be read
during my bus ride to school
because there are not enough words to
explain how hard it is to finish math
homework or read an assigned book while
inside a crowded moving bus but today
for the first time in a while I did not
procrastinate and I’m conscious most of
you cannot say this yourselves since it
is not only me who procrastinates I’m
willing to bet that everybody here
procrastinate in some aspect of his or
her life let it be academic and
work-related everyday routines and
obligations health leisure family
partnership or even exercise however
although procrastination is immensely
common academic procrastination can be
deemed an epidemic among teenagers and
after contemplating this idea for a
while my group members and I started to
consider that students become
procrastinators because their learning
does not motivate them and because there
are a lot of stress due to their work
these results in them getting distracted
by other activities like social media or
entertainment tools they have around
them plus we need to keep in mind that
procrastination is part of our
evolutionary makeup so students should
not entirely be blamed for this
phenomenon now all of the subfields of
psychology have a different explanation
for procrastination for instance
evolutionary psychologists believe that
human beings procrastinate mainly
because of the evolutionary struggle for
survival in other words procrastination
is genetically programmed within us to
prove this theory scientists from the
University of Colorado Boulder compared
fraternal twins who only share some of
their DNA with identical twins who share
all of their DNA they evaluated their
working habits mostly
because they have been raised in the
same environment and after comparing
their responses they found that half the
time differences in procrastination
habits could be because of differences
in genetics also early humans
prioritized short-term tasks and did not
bother to fulfill distant distant
objectives it was frequent to make rash
decisions and avoid all sort of planning
last-minute hunting or gathering food a
day at a time
was in monthly common and those who
procrastinate the most had better odds
of survival therefore it is likely that
some behavioural traits were passed on
to their offspring since those who
procrastinate the most managed to
survive and served as an example for
future generations that putting off
tasks for the last minute was the best
way to ensure survival
that is why currently in 46 percent of
the cases procrastination can be
attributed to genetic variations but
what has this theory caused such an
impact among the scientific society the
answer is very simple
the theory makes sense we are still
acting like her ancestors did making
abrupt decisions and setting short-term
goals
moreover lack of motivation to complete
an assignment causes procrastination
this lack of motivation can be provoked
by multiple distinct factors such as the
fear failure perfectionism anxiety or
some political students are not engaged
with the assigned task students by this
studies by the centre an educator of
education policy expose that 40% of high
school students are chronically
disengaged from school either because
they do not want to learn what they’re
learning or because they feel they could
be doing more productive activities plus
a survey carried out in which 50
students from our school
Kaleo Lee were interviewed demonstrates
that a hundred percent of them lived
doing their academic tasks until the
last minute since they are not motivated
to motivated to complete them these
poses a significant problem since it
appears that by not being able to engage
their students and help them develop
they want to learn the school system is
creating procrastinators as a result of
their lack of motivation to
get distracted by the entertainment
devices available to them
consequently they prefer to engage in
other activities like checking social
media playing video games or watching
movies according to an article published
by the Guardian titled procrastination a
student’s worst enemy 70% of students
leave their tasks to the last minute a
tendency that is affected by the use of
social medium and it is important to
keep in mind that most people blame this
habit of procrastination on the
excessive use of electronic devices
however social media and however this
obsession with social media and
distractions may be the result of lack
of motivation stress and the anxiety
that students are going to him after all
if students were inspired to learn to
their schoolwork they would not believe
in the completion of their work for the
last minute
therefore the key to fight off
procrastination might be motivation
towards learning instead of the
confiscation of these electronic devices
to conclude if you’ve ever
procrastinated first of all understand
that it’s okay we’ve all been there
procrastination is literally wired into
our brain since our ancestors did it and
this trade has been passed on to us the
future generations at the end of the day
we are just humans and sometimes we are
tricked into this habit now let’s
quickly review the process of
procrastination first some students
procrastinate because they feel that
because they decide to choose two other
to do other activities instead of
completing the task that they the task
that they do not enjoy and since they
are not motivated to complete the
assigned task they become distracted by
other activities like social media and
other electronic devices yet even though
as human beings were inclined to
procrastinate fortunately there is a
simple cure for procrastination and it’s
called procrastination this uncommon
phenomenon is the opposite of
procrastination and it involves the
completion of tasks as soon as they are
assigned doing so may relief working
memory since if one completes a task
immediately after it is assigned one
does not need to remember to remember it
afterwards
additionally delaying tasks result in
worse before
so procrastination is a viable way of
enhancing performance plus accomplishing
small tasks produces a rewarding feeling
therefore we should break larger tasks
that we tend to procrastinate into
smaller ones in order to complete them
quicker now I want to finish by
challenging all of you to begin
procrastinating today not next month not
next week but today
this way we can finally stop the thief
of time thank
