It has been the subject of numerous self-help articles, blog articles, YouTube videos (and less useful but \u00a0exciting memes). Ironically, the Internet is a good place to delay. The solution remains elusive, one thing is clear, the delay can be hard to understand and therefore more difficult to overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As people shout, &#8220;I&#8217;m procrastinating, I repent,&#8221; and keep hiding myself, like an ostrich with his head in the sand. Just like the one written by Samuel Johnson: &#8220;We has been a common human weakness that we postponed the eventual unavoidable. And it is more or less entrenched in the minds of everyone. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why Procrastination<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30453\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30453\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/77-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30453\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/77-625x352.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" \/><\/noscript> A man pushing a clock in the desert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most heart-wrenching explanations is &#8220;fear of failure&#8221;. Schouwenburg, an educational psychologist at the University of Groningen, believes that &#8220;fear of failure&#8221; is an \u00a0essential factor in predicting delays as an anxiety reaction. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People are often afraid of making mistakes, fear that their performance can not meet the standards or meet the expectations of others.\u00a0 It has led to delays or evasions in the execution of failed tasks in order to leave room for their defense. &#8220;It is not that I am not good enough, but that I am delayed, not enough time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another representative explanation is &#8220;time perception.&#8221; Philip Zimbardo, an American psychologist, believes that life can be fully enjoyed only by the balance of the past, present and future \u00a0three-time frame references. &#8220;If one is limited to one of the coordinates, then the outlook on life Deviations will occur and they will be limited. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Health costs of procrastination<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30465\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/55-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30465\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/03\/55-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychologists Tice and Baumeister use a set of delay measures for students in a class to differentiate some students. They are used to getting things done and not doing so. In addition, an end-of-term dissertation was placed in a class. Students were asked to report at the beginning of the semester and the end of the semester. About &#8220;how much physical discomfort they experienced&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0As the delays listed in previous scales delayed the average time for submitting dissertations to students, with generally lower scores.
