Jessica started high school and never had a good schedule. She always waited until the very last minute to do homework. She would always go to sleep late and always wake up late for school and not catch the bus. After a while, she realized that she had to manage her time everyday for school. Jessica never had time for practicing her guitar and never got her required minutes every week for guitar, but since she started managing her time well, she started being more confident in school and she got good grades ever since she stopped procrastinating. Procrastination can affect people who have school because they won’t get work done, and they’ll wake up late for school, and their brains won’t function properly at school.
First of all, people don’t

Those people who slack on homework and do after school activities everyday can also be called procrastinating. But sometimes people do their homework and don’t get to do their after school activities because the homework takes up all their time, but sometimes students can do their activities everyday, but we do have a 5th block where we can do out homework but sometimes people decide not to do it. Those who have time to do their homework in the morning are lucky, but that means those children slack on homework as well. Having to do homework in the morning means people don’t do their homework in the afternoon when they come back from school. I am being a bit repetitive, but procrastinating can cause a lot of problems in life. Those who have a family that are strong in the subjects that they learn can help those who have trouble with their homework. Getting satisfactory grades in school is probably the number one priority in life for those who still take school. Many children should find solutions to get their work done to cause less problems for school. Procrastination has always affected many people’s lives and how they go through …show more content…
Procrastination has always affected many people’s lives and how they go through school. Even if after school activities get in the way, asking family members to help out with homework and studying will hopefully help out for the next week or so. Procrastination should be handled more easily because I feel as if people in middle school and high school aren’t managing their time well, which is why they don’t get work done, they sleep late, and they wake up late and become tardy for school. Those students who have trouble with learning how to manage their time should try to make a schedule and plan things out. (Just stay off phones as much as possible because that has helped
Anxiety. Regret. Frustration. Restlessly glancing at the clock, cringing every time I do. Staring at a blinking cursor, waiting for inspiration. Spending a restless night trying to squeeze out something to turn in the next day. This is a process known all too well by me, and most high schoolers in America, one known as: Procrastination. Procrastination is something easily avoided, and yet, seems to be one of the biggest causes for low grades in most students’ lives. It’s a tempting prospect, putting off your responsibilities to do something enjoyable, but it should be avoided at every possibility. Procrastination causes your grades to suffer, causes your mental health to suffer, and causes you to learn bad habits for the future.
There have been countless times in my life where I have struggled to stay focused on a task ahead of me. I always plan out my work time ahead in order for me to complete a task, but every time I find that I have to revise my plan every day closer to the deadline. The little work that I should have done each day turns into a tremendous amount of work before the due date. Occupying myself with other things that keep me entertained, only brings me a lot of distress at the end. As I continue to torture myself , this bad habit of mine continous to dwell inside of me. One could say that there may be many implied meanings to this concept, but nevertheless, this force that messes with me everyday is considered to be procrastination.
Procrastination is a common problem with students. Students wait closer and closer to the due date to complete an assignment. Procrastinating is something that everyone has done at one point in his or her lives. All students such as elementary students, middle school students, high school students, and college students procrastinate. Students have many reasons why they seem to procrastinate. The reasons for procrastinating are simple such as students being too lazy to complete their work. Procrastination is a problem because students may not get their work done in time.

The alarm beeps again sounding like a fire alarm going off. School starts before 8am.

School days for teens start to early. Teens aren't getting the sleep recommended for a healthy start to their day. Later start times for middle and high schools are proven to benefit both students and teachers.
Like everyone, I have weaknesses and strengths that relate to school. I am proficient in remembering things such as formulas, or definitions which I believe are the reason I take an understanding to math. I most unquestionably need to improve my habit of procrastinating I'm aware that this is the MAIN reason i haven't been doing the best I could have throughout my high school years thus far. I'm not stupid, I started my freshman year as a full ib myp student and had I not been lazy I would've accomplished way bigger, better than things by now rather than having to quit a sport due to my grades or having to attend summer school every summer for the last two years.
Supposedly the reason why we do not get the best grades that were capable of having is because we don’t study or do our homework enough. I agree that might be the case but what do you expect? We have seven classes a day! The first thing I do when I get home from a long hard day at school is take a nap and the last thing I’m thinking about is studying or homework that I have to do. But if we had only four classes I wouldn’t really have to worry about getting it done as much because there wouldn’t be as much to do so it would be such a load of stress of our minds! I think we wouldn’t procrastinate as much as we do now because there would be less work to do so we will just get it done when we get home.
Sleep, something I am great at and can find myself doing all day. It was late before my research essay proposal was due and I had just woken up from a nap. The thought came to me instantly and so I began my essay on sleep. My topic was not on sleep itself
...rs tend to overestimate the degree of unpleasantness of a task” (Lay, 46). Procrastination is a problem that when left unchecked can cause serious problems in every aspect of a person’s life. The solution for students can be as easy as sticking to a goal or as hard as denying themselves a prize when they missed the deadline on a project. The type of solution a person uses depends on what works best for that student, but a schedule to help stay goal positioned never hurt.
The definition of procrastination according to Solomon & Rothblum is the determined delay of the start or completion of a task (1984). Procrastinators will also differ from those who do not procrastinate in numerous ways. An example would be that procrastinators often fear failure, strive for perfection, may be slightly pessimistic and more anxious, which may become worse when they realize they are procrastinating (McCown & Johnson, 1991) or when deadlines are approaching (Tice & Baumeister, 1997). The personal and realistic problems that result from dysfunctional procrastination are predominantly acute in academics, as the inclination to put off school-related tasks often result in challenging levels of stress (Solomon & Rothblum 1984), on the whole the end of the academic semester would be the peak (Tice & Baumeister, 1997).
One thing that teen constantly do is procrastinate. Procrastination is the avoiding important work that needs to be done in a period of time. Most people who do it often are not stressed because they never do anything, then they stay up all night to get there project, easy, or homework done. Waiting till the last minute is not going to good for your stress level nor for your grade. Staying up all night to study for a test is less affect then studying over a week.

Don't you hate waking up early for school in the morning? Most high school students wake up before the sun rises just to become ready for school. Teenage brains do not begin to function that early considering many are tired from staying up late the previous night. The National Sleep Foundation reported that most teens do not retain enough shuteye, one study found that only 15% reported sleeping eight 1/2 hours on school nights. That fact was extremely true for me when I attended high school. I barely was able to wake up, get dressed, and be in school on time since I was so tired. In my opinion school days should start later, precisely in between 9- 10 o'clock. If the school day started later attendance would improve, students will be more prepared, and student's attitudes and grades may improve.
Should school start at 7:00 or should it start later in the morning? In Douglas High School, start times are at 7:30 in the morning. Changing the school schedule to a later start time would result in many other changes affecting a lot of people. According to the Sleep Foundation, "The change will affect the entire community, from students and parents to businesses, libraries, police, youth sports clubs, bus drivers and many others." Altering the school schedule would influence numerous aspects of people’s lives. Highly coordinated routines would have to be changed and adapted to the new schedule. A later release time would take time off of students’ free time in the afternoon. Clubs, sports, jobs, and other after-school activities would have
