Basically, procrastination means delaying work, or even, in some cases, leaving it to the last minute. Why do people procrastinate? Many people do it simply because they don’t have an interest in the work they’ve been given, for example, if a student is given an essay topic by his teacher that focuses on a topic the student doesn’t have interest in. Many thoughts could come to the student’s mind, like “how can I top what others are doing?”, “this stuff is so boring” and “I can’t make it”. All of these thoughts can be very discouraging, and promote procrastination.
Most people have smart phones nowadays, and we are all starting to become dependent on them. Many of us need an alarm to wake up in the morning, or to remind us of things we have to do. It’s a small thing, but nobody seems to address that there is not only a stop option for our alarms, but a snooze option too. When our alarm rings, many of us instinctively hit snooze. It seems that technology is actually making a path for us to procrastinate, even as our day starts. But technology also leads to us delaying work and other important things.
