Problem 

Procrastination may relieve pressure at the moment, but it can have steep emotional, physical, and practical costs. Students who routinely procrastinate tend to get lower grades, workers who procrastinate produce lower-quality work, and in general, habitual procrastinators can experience reduced well-being in the form of insomnia and mental illness.

Concept Solution 

Create a VR system to help the user efficiently organize and track their project. The system will  create an immersive learning environment to help the user focus on communicating, sharing processes, and working together in the study room. Building different study rooms for each course. Each room has an AI robot, if the topic discussed in the study room is irrelevant, or if the user opens an unrelated web page. AI robots will constantly remind users to concentrate on their work now. The system will also generate a reasonable daily task schedule for users, and help the user efficiently organize and track their project. 

Why Procrastinate?

Self-doubt

The perception of doubt concerning requisite skill triggers task deferral and work avoidance.

Perfectionism

“Do it right or don’t do it at all.” 

Avoiding a difficulty

Part of the reason we procrastinate is because the task seems too daunting.

Attention deficits

Easily interfered by other things
