Although we are often told that procrastinating in college is harmful and that leaving our assignments to the last minute can lead us to feel more stressed,I like to wait before starting any assignment,since I tend to overthink and want to make it perfect.When I procrastinate,it's not out of laziness,but rather,a desire to be efficient(高效的).
In an op-ed,Adam Grant,a professor of management and psychology,explored the connection between performance and procrastination habits,and cited an experiment conducted by one of his former students.In the study,procrastinators' ideas were found to be 28% more creative than the ideas of those who didn't procrjye.aitinate.As it turns out,procrastination might help generate creative ideas - which may explain why some students perform well at the last minute.
While procrastination might work well for some students,it may lead to increased levels of anxiety for others.One college student,Amanda,says "If I procrastinate or struggle with assignments,it affects my mental health by making me feel trapped and anxious." Not only can procrastination cause anxiety for students,but trying to finish an assignment in a hurry can also negatively impact their grades - and lead them to make small,careless mistakes - which can lead to even more anxiety.
It's important to point out that there's a difference between casual procrastination and chronic(長期的)procrastination.Chronic procrastination,distress over academics,or lack of motivation can often lead to more serious mental health outcomes such as anxiety,depression and low self-esteem.If you struggle with managing schoolwork to the point where it affects your grades and interpersonal relationships over a long time,you might have to visit your school counselor or the academic resource center.
Everyone has different styles of working and managing their time,and when it comes to procrastinating in college,it's always good to reflect on whether it's helping or hurting.Figuring this part out can take a while,so make a note of how you're completing your assignments and start writing down how you feel.Prioritize self-care whether you start your assignment the week before its due date or the day before.
