Which replacement activities do you typically use when you procrastinate? Why is it important to be aware of these activities?
What will be an ideal response?
Typically, students engage in other activities as opposed to focusing on their priorities. Naturally, as college students, their priority should be coursework. An example of replacement activities might be getting on the internet and spending an hour on Facebook or "IM-ing" friends. It's not too hard to convince
students that engaging in these sorts of activities is a waste of their time. On the other hand, it is more difficult to get students to look at replacement activities that are productive like cleaning or running errands. Sometimes students may focus too much energy on one course to avoid a subject they don't like. Productive replacement activities are harder to reconcile because students rationalize that at least they are doing some type of work.
