Onesided view.

"A 1992 study showed that "52% of surveyed students indicated having a moderate to high need for help concerning procrastination."[3] It is estimated that 80%–95% of college students engage in procrastination, and approximately 75% consider themselves procrastinators."

Here, valid sceptisism to relevance of schoolmaterial, is considered "procrastination". Where would criticism of ultranationalism and totemism be, if such things were not critisised? Indeed it is in school, many hold the opinion that nationalism, parades and totemic "cultural" symbols, are canonical. To "procrastinate" about indoctrination, is a sign of mental health.

Indeed if more practical and relevant things are taught, students own interest will be engaged.

Article is not about education. This does not matter. 5.138.241.190 (talk) 12:48, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possible lead for sources

I thought that this:

Murphy, Heather (2017-07-21). "What We Finally Got Around to Learning at the Procrastination Research Conference". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. Retrieved 2017-08-07.

gave an interesting, non-self-help-y summary of the current state of the research on procrastination (including things like the distinction between procrastinating and rationally delaying something). It might be useful as a starting point for overhauling this article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:51, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On a slightly less serious note

Any chance we could add a reference to readers reading this article as a form of procrastination into the article? It appeals to my sense of humour, but I'm looking for ways to do it in a wikipedia-appropriate way. Any ideas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.208.1.238 (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Cultural Perspective"?

I'm curious: is procrastination a universal human phenomenon, or is it more prevalent in certain cultures? If the latter, then perhaps a "Cultural Perspective" section is warranted? OlyDLG (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving problem
