University students have a lot of freedom but not much structure. This can be bad for habitual procrastinators.
Or is it the other way around? Does poor physical health, say, lead people to procrastinate because they don’t have the energy to do the task now? Of the 3,525 students we recruited, 2,587 answered the follow-up questionnaire nine months later, where several health outcomes were measured. These associations remained even when we took other factors that could affect the association into consideration, such as age, gender, parents’ level of education, and previous physical and psychiatric diagnoses.
