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!
