Brief cognitive-behavioural coaching for procrastination: a case series
Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe specific coaching skills for procrastination, integrate them into a brief cognitive-behavioural coaching programme for procrastination, and determine the programme's effectiveness through an A-B direct replication series (n=7) with follow-up assessments at three and six months. Results showed that at post-coaching all participants made significant improvements on scores of decisional and behavioural procrastination. Gains were maintained at follow-up. These preliminary results suggest that brief cognitive-behavioural coaching could be an effective and time efficient intervention for procrastination. Further evaluations are clearly warranted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
