PROCRASTINATION
It would be fine to do the work in time BUT- Avoid doing the work- Avoid unpleasant things- Doing something else- Doing slowly, eventually in a hurry- Can´t do it at all

6 TIPS
- Keep up the good state of study: study with regularity and take time to recover
- Make good use of social networks- Update your study techniques- Learn to evaluate what you have learned- Take the rough with the smooth, don´t give up- Analyze your past week, has it gone the way
you wanted, comparing what you think highly of?
