Why do students procrastinate?

Many people believe that they have to read every book and article on a subject before they start on their assignment. They believe if they don't have every bit of information or have it nice and neat for that assignment it's not worthy of being turned in. I have that problem of it possibly being inaccurate, so just in case I have to go back and look up on several sites to make sure that, that piece of work is correct. It takes me longer to accomplish that assignment, which takes me away from finishing other work on top of being busy with everything else.

 On my projects I have to have a great presentation with bright colors or something that makes it unique to know that I will get a good grade on it and until I am able to come up with that idea I am set back. A good  way to overcome this is to not wait till you have the perfect idea or go to several websites to make sure your information is correct. The best way to overcome this is to identify your goals. Find an easier route to go that will still be effective to your work, such as find a very reliable source for that one subject and to just start your assignment.
