Difference Between Laziness And Procrastination
Laziness:

Procrastination:
تاخیر
When you put off activities that were planned or scheduled, means you are procrastinating.
1. Being a perfectionist
When you have high work standards and you are unable to meet the needs always (obviously you can’t be perfect every time).
You are more likely to be lazy/procrastinator.
Solution:
Rewire your beliefs. Understand that nothing is perfect. It’s just a point of view which can be one for me and different for you.
Instead, choose satisfaction over perfection.try to be better than your previous self every day. Don’t compete with your ideal self.
An study in University of Bristol :
The study observed that as the amount of time spent on internet, mainly on social media increases, the level of academic procrastination increases too. All the categories of students at University of Bristol identified this as one of the major reasons for academic procrastination.
