Why Do Students Procrastinate?

In response to Mrs. Stevens blog and Overcoming Procrastination Article.

Procrastination is avoiding a task that has to be done. Personally, I have never had an issue procrastinating, I like to get my work done as soon as I can so that I don't get stressed out.

Why students procrastinate:
One of the main issues that people procrastinate is because of their difficulty concentrating. Procrastination is very similar to school students especially seniors who are ready to be out of high school. I have tons of friends who procrastinate and it just makes things more difficult. As teenagers we have trouble concentrating because we are involved in sports, dating, applying for colleges, and much more. In my opinion it is very hard to concentrate when i'm trying to get homework done.

How to overcome procrastination:
One way I will try to overcome procrastination is by setting my priorities straight and managing my time wisely. For example, I have tons of homework to do but I also have scrap booking pages to finish for volleyball. Even though there is a dead line for my scrap booking also, school work should be higher on my priority list.
