Resumen
It is widely acknowledged that within student
life, particularly at the university level, time is
often perceived as a scarce resource, almost
a privilege or a luxury, especially within
medical training. Long and demanding
classes, constant assessments, clinical
rotations, and an overwhelming academic
workload all require sustained commitment,
discipline, and perseverance. Yet, beneath
this fast-paced and demanding academic
lifestyle lies a frequent, silent, and highly
normalized phenomenon: procrastination.
This behavior extends beyond a simple issue
of poor organization; it reflects the complex
relationship between students and their
studies, stress, and emotional burden.
