Napoleon Hill said that procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday. Nowadays, many people face procrastination in their daily lives and it is not considered a problem as long as it does not interfere with their ability to work and creates psychological and physical discomfort. Students often procrastinate, and most research observes the tendency of students to procrastinate. However, focusing only on students would be biased since it affects everyone, almost every day. To find out why people procrastinate, the answer may be to look at personality and motivation. One of the leading researchers on procrastination is Joseph Ferrari. It examines the definition of procrastination, the many reasons why procrastination occurs, and the personality types in which it occurs. Solomon & Rothblum's definition of procrastination is the determined delay in starting or completing a task (1984). Procrastinators also differ from those who don't procrastinate in many ways. An example would be that procrastinators often fear failure, strive for perfection, may be slightly pessimistic and more anxious, which may worsen when they realize they are procrastinating (McCown & Johnson, 1991) or when deadlines approach (Tice and Baumeister, 1997). ). The personal and realistic problems that result from dysfunctional procrastination are mainly acute among academics, as the tendency to postpone academic tasks often results in difficult stress levels (Solomon & Rothblum 1984). Overall, the end of the college semester would be the peak (Tice & Baumeister, 1997). Academic procrastinators must...... middle of paper ......y Bulletin, 7, 79-83.Deci, EL (1975).
