    Don't sleep on Procrastination Avoidance Week

    March 4, 2021
    Print | PDF

    Procrastination Avoidance Week (PAW) runs from March 8 to 12, so we thought we’d bring together some of the workshops, resources and PAW-exclusive social media activities that you can get involved in.

    Procrastination is the intentional act of avoiding or putting off something that requires your attention. While procrastination is a common behaviour, it’s important to know why people tend to procrastinate and understand strategies that can help you manage this habit.

    Take advantage of the tips, events and resources that will help you learn how to manage procrastination!

    National Workshop

    A Peer Mentor’s Guide to Motivation

    Monday, March 8 at 4 p.m. EST

    Join Destiny and Jenna, members of Laurier's Learning Skills and Development team, to talk about strategies to support your motivation through the end of term. In this session, they'll focus on the themes of:

    • re-cultivating passion,
    • setting small goals,
    • identifying barriers, 
    • self-care tips, 
    • and active reflection.

    Register for the session.

    Note: You will be registering for the full day, not for an individual session; you will be able to enter, leave, and move among rooms with this one link.
