The phrase 'I will study tomorrow instead of today' best illustrates which habit?

• A. Motivation
• B. Procrastination
• C. Diligence
• D. Planning

Answer: (B)

This illustrates procrastination—the habit of delaying tasks rather than taking action now. Saying “I will study tomorrow instead of today” shows choosing to postpone the work, often due to avoidance or hoping for a more favorable time, even when action today would move you closer to your goal.

It isn’t planning, because planning would involve setting a concrete time to study soon and following through, not deferring it. It isn’t diligence, which implies steady, timely effort rather than postponement. And it isn’t motivation, which would typically push you to start rather than delay. To counter this habit, try committing to a specific study time today and create a simple plan or reminder to start now.
