Many people procrastinate based on if they are around their friends. Friends can have many positive and negative influences on students. For instance, let’s say you are chilling with your friends and you tell them that you have to finish some homework. They may convince you that you can do it later and that they may be doing something really cool at the time.  While even though these may be your good friends, you will have to be able to tell them that you can hang out later when you finish your homework. On the other hand, it is possible that your friends can even help you out with your school work. Having friends like this can be very beneficial for you because it allows you to seek help from your peers and still maintain a well balanced friendship.  Friends can have a lot of influence over a person in both a positive and negative way, but in the end it is up to that person to be able to tell their friends that they have homework to do or that they need help with it. Procrastination can be caused by a lot of outside factors  but the only thing you should be concerned with is what is on the inside.

Procrastination has been linked as a symptom to a disorder called ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). It is hard to get over procrastination without any disorder but it is even harder for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A recent study has shown that adults with attention deficit disorder have a much higher chance of procrastinating than other normal adults. People with this disorder have a very difficult time concentrating on tasks, especially tasks that are difficult. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder sufferers can be easily distracted by even the smallest of things, and this makes it extremely easy to put important things off. Adults and children with ADHD are often described as having troubles with completing tasks on time and organizing.  They are often easily stresses, impatient, and short tempered. All these symptoms are not at all helpful when they are trying to complete a difficult task. There has been research supporting the thought that the diagnosis of frequent delays while trying to complete a task. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of research in the strategies in dealing with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder patient’s procrastination. Hopefully there will be more help assisted to ADHD patients in the near future.
