Academic procrastination can harm your grades. A study looked at over 1000 students from different fields like medicine, law, and engineering. They found that putting off academic tasks is linked to lower grades. Students who procrastinate are more likely to fail and less likely to succeed in their studies. Factors like drinking alcohol, impulsiveness, and the field of study can make students more likely to procrastinate. This shows that procrastination can hurt your academic performance, especially if you're impulsive or drink alcohol.
