ABSTRACT
Procrastination is a big problem for many students. Previous research has found that 75% of students consider themselves procrastinators, with 50% doing so regularly and to a level that is considered problematic. One reason why students may procrastinate is because people are often poor at predicting how long a task will take and will often underestimate the time needed to complete it. This is known as “the Planning fallacy” (#3).
