The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The influence of personal networks and social support on study attainment of students in university education (2008, background): “1986; Tice and Baumeister 1997; Wesley 1994), but in other studies this effect did not occur (Beck et al. 2001; Cassady and Johnson 2002; Pychyl et al. 2001).”
My Instructor Made Me Do It: Task Characteristics of Procrastination (2005, background): “Various studies have found procrastination to affect 50% to 95% of undergraduate students (cf. Janssen and Carton 1999; Kachgal, Hansen, and Nutter 2001; Pychyl et al. 2000; Pychyl, Morin, and Salmon 2000).”
Planning, personality, and prediction: The role of future focus in optimistic time predictions☆ (2003, result): “This pattern of effects is consistent with the findings of a recent study examining the study plans of procrastinators (Pychyl et al., 2000), and extends the previous findings to the phenomenon of overly optimistic task predictions.”
College Students’ Time Management: a Self-Regulated Learning Perspective (2020, background): “However, there is strong evidence that students are not particularly good at predicting how long a task will take or even estimating how much time completed activities actually consumed (Beuhler et al. 2010; Francis-Smythe and Robertson 1999a; Pychyl et al. 2000; Tanner et al. 2009).”
