Procrastination -- that needless delay of a project that should be completed -- is a familiar problem for those living the college life. Courtney Pitkin has more in this Bobcat Update.
It's common. Everybody does it at some point. Put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today. But students who do this often enough wind up in trouble -- academically, personally and perhaps professionally. Procrastination can lead to stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep. At Texas State, a group called Brilliant Bobcats provides a series of workshops to help students. Speaker Katie Palmer says she's been guilty of procrastination herself.

At the end of the workshop students were asked to write down a goal that they had been putting off. Now it's your turn. For Bobcat Update, I'm Courtney Pitkin.
