Self-regulation difficulty

Self-regulation refers to the ability to manage one's own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, including planning, monitoring, and controlling actions to achieve goals.

Procrastination despite high ability is a classic sign of poor self-regulation, since the student possesses the competence to complete tasks but struggles to initiate and sustain effort on time.
