School subjects
Engage students in a discussion about how and why most people procrastinate to avoid doing certain tasks. Suggest ways we can overcome this avoidance and become more productive in our lives. What are some of the pitfalls of this kind of behaviour? Have students relate personal anecdotes about their own procrastinating and their reasons for it.
