David feels uncomfortable when he looks at the undone homework on his desk.He doesn't finish his homework until the last minute，as a result of surfing the Internet.
People can procrastinate （拖延） on almost anything，even enjoyable things such as planning a vacation.Research has shown that the top things young people procrastinate are studying，going to bed and visiting their relatives. "The main reason for procrastination is that people are afraid of failure，" professor Peter Stone says.
Some people believe procrastination will make them work more effectively （有效地）.But researchers disagree. "I did a study several years ago，asking procrastinators to finish a job in a certain period of time，" says Stone. "They did worse than non-procrastinators.They made more mistakes and they took longer." Procrastination is usually not good for you.For example，bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness，which in turn can cause many other health problems.
What can be done to stop procrastinating？The best advice is to do what you reed to do as quickly as possible.If you want to develop a habit of exercise，just put on your walking shoes.
Next ，find something to help you stop procrastinating.For example，if you want to go to bed at 10：30 pm，you might set a timed dimmer switch （渐暗开关） at 10：00 pm.When the lights are darker，you'll start going to bed.It works for most people.
Finally，reward（奖励） yourself every time you make progress.For example，after you've run 3 kilometers，enjoy your favorite ice-cream.
