What does ProGRess stand for?
"ProGRess" stands for procrastination, health promotion in the sense of student health management and resource activation.
Procrastination is the scientific term for putting off tasks despite knowing the negative consequences of this procrastination. The phenomenon is particularly widespread in the academic context. In addition to possible performance losses, procrastination can lead to physical and mental health problems. We want to do something about this with ProGRess!
The ProGRess training
Is your procrastination giving you a headache?
Do you constantly feel under pressure and the deadline for your project is getting closer and closer?
Are all the demands placed on you causing you more stress from semester to semester?
The ProGRess training helps you to reflect on your behavior, better understand your procrastination and finally establish suitable resources and strategies against procrastination in your everyday life. The aim is to build up your individual anti-procrastination measures pool (APM).
This will enable you to counteract the negative health consequences. Because not every exam phase has to be accompanied by health restrictions such as enormous stress, headaches or building pains!
Over three days, you will learn specific strategies to help you utilize your personal resources. They form the basis for your sustainable change in behavior so that you can complete the typical tasks in your studies (homework, exam preparation, internship reports) with a good feeling again.
You will be supported not only by the trainer present, but also by the other participants. This creates a special course atmosphere that is unfamiliar to most students in a university context and therefore provides a very special feeling.
