Abstract :
Procrastination is a common issue that adversely affects productivity, academic success, and overall health. It is not just a problem of managing time but is affected by psychological, behavioral, and environmental elements. Procrastination can be divided into two categories: passive and active, where passive procrastinators find it difficult to start tasks, and active procrastinators intentionally delay tasks to boost motivation when under pressure. Research shows that a considerable number of students and professionals often procrastinate, with digital distractions making the problem worse. Several psychological disorders, including depression, ADHD, and OCD, are associated with long-term procrastination. The repercussions of procrastination include lower academic achievements, financial setbacks, and diminished workplace productivity. Nevertheless, approaches such as organized planning, minimizing decision fatigue, and altering one's surroundings can assist in reducing procrastination. Understanding its causes and implementing effective strategies can enhance productivity and overall success.
