RESEARCH ABOUT PROCRASTINATION
• Students who do not procrastinate are motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic forces.
• Students who procrastinate tend to be motivated only by extrinsic forces.
• Procrastination leads to lower grades and increased stress and anxiety
• Source: Brownlow & Reasinger, “Putting off until tomorrow what is better done today: Academic procrastination as a function of motivation toward college work.” Journal of Social Behavior and Personality 15(2000):15-34

Cognitive Distortions Made by Academic Procrastinators
• Overestimating how much time is left to complete your work
• Underestimating how much time is left to complete your work
• Overestimation of how motivated you will be to complete your work at a later time
• Belief that you can only do the work well if you are in the mood to work on it
Procrastination & Task Avoidance, Ferrar, Johnson, & McCowan, 1995
