College students: How often do you procrastinate?

BQ: About how much of your day is spent procrastinating?

BQ2: Has it done any good or bad for you?

For me, about 3/4 of the day is spent procrastinating. Sometimes, I can procrastinate for a whole day, or even two in a row... I need help.

    in college, you can't really procrastinate for long. incredibly lengthy assignments are due within a few days to a week at a time. if you don't do something for 2 days, you would only have 1-2 days left to complete it. then those 1-2 days left would be a hectic nightmare. What I do to prevent procrastination is to not take a break immediately after I get home and go straight to try to review that day's notes and lecture. Then after I understand everything, I try to do some of my homework. Then I take a long break for like 2.5 hours. Then I start working again. Otherwise, I would take a calender and mark down due dates. And separate which of the work/ or how much of the work I should complete on each day so that I can complete it by the due date. Sometimes I procrastinate so much that I literally have to schedule my activiites every few hours. For example if I had to read 28 boring hard pages, I would put my self on a schedule to read 10 pages by the next hour. Then 10 pages due the hour after that. This works for me.
