Stress and procrastination are related

Students can also fall into their own trap. Hunching over what is being learned is not the same as learning. If students are browsing on a smartphone or laptop, but are not bugging lesson-related content at all, it will only take time at the expense of learning.

Yet it doesn't creep into the box otherwise. It is a task that requires concentration, awareness, organization, and attention, just like working for adults. That’s why we should put the phone aside while we have more important things to do. Nevertheless, we can often find ourselves stroking the phone again, instead of doing our thing.

Yes, yes, it is not a good activity at all and it is not a useful activity at the expense of others. We can become artists of procrastination, and by the way, it can be another source of stress and cause fatigue and anxiety.

We are able to seek refuge in the press of the phone even if we have to solve a futures task. However, procrastination is not the same as laziness. Maybe you know yourself, too, when you had a hard time devoting yourself to a task that by the time you remembered it, you had done many other jobs. It’s as if your goal was to be effective, you just don’t have to (yet) do that one. This is called active procrastination, meaning that in this case laziness does not hinder the task at all, but we do not want to satisfy the task that we find difficult, we do not feel like knowing it.

Procrastination is caused by stress, can be a consequence of it, and acts as a kind of stress reliever. As long as we deal with something else, we can release the tension. If procrastination is done with the help of the internet, there is also a chance that we will find content that will delight, turn off, distract us. But procrastination doesn’t help our lives either.
