abstract
Procrastination affects many aspects of our lives, like school, work, and personal tasks, and is more than just being lazy. It's a complex behaviour influenced by different factors like fear of failure, perfectionism, and impulsivity. This work explores why we procrastinate and how it impacts us. It also discusses various interventions to combat procrastination, including behavioral strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and technology-based solutions like apps and online support groups. Looking ahead, researchers are investigating cultural influences and new approaches to help individuals overcome procrastination and improve their well-being and productivity. By understanding and addressing procrastination, we can lead more fulfilling lives.
