Last-Minute Syndrome

Last-Minute Syndrome refers to the tendency of individuals to procrastinate tasks until the very last moment. This often leads to heightened stress and a rush to complete assignments or responsibilities before deadlines. People with Last-Minute Syndrome may struggle with time management, prioritization, or fear of failure, causing them to delay starting tasks. The result is often a frantic scramble that can compromise the quality of their work, affect their well-being, and create a cycle of anxiety and rushed decisions. Recognizing this pattern is the first step toward developing better planning and organization skills.
