If you often procrastinate when it comes to doing homework, know that you’re not alone. This is a problem not only because it can harm your performance at school, and therefore cause you to receive lower grades, but also because it can cause you to suffer from various other issues, such as frustration, anxiety, and stress. Homework procrastination can take various forms, from wasting hours trying to bring yourself to start writing an essay, to putting off an important project until the end of the semester. For example, if a student delays starting a homework assignment until right before its deadline for no good reason, even though it would have been better for them to start earlier, that student is engaging in homework procrastination.
