Workshop: How to beat procrastination

A 1-day workshop designed to support lecturers who struggle with procrastinating tendencies of their students. It´s been said that all procrastination is delay, but not all delay is procrastination. It will provide you with useful information and strategies that will support you in helping students to develop the mind-set and the capacity to start and finish their projects on time!

About the workshop

Procrastination is a behaviour which consists of postponing relevant work or projects that need to be performed, either by delaying the beginning of such work, or not being able to finalize it.

Procrastination is particularly pressing for students who suffer from fear of failure and/or paradoxically, fear of success.

This workshop will address the cultural and psychological underpinnings of the procrastination behaviour; who is at higher risk; what are the causes, the emotional signs and consequences of procrastination; and how it can be effectively addressed by lecturers.
