<![CDATA[Academic procrastination is a problem often experienced by secondary school students. This problem is characterized by the habit of delaying completion of school assignments, which can impact the decline in student learning achievement. This research aims to determine the implementation process and results of group guidance services in overcoming academic procrastination among eighth-grade students at SMPN 18 Tangerang. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through student screening questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that students often delay completing assignments due to excessive use of social media and digital games, lack of self-regulation skills, and low learning motivation. After participating in group guidance services through several activity stages, students began to understand the negative impacts of academic procrastination. Additionally, students were able to formulate personal commitments to manage their time better and reduce the habit of delaying assignments. This research concludes that group guidance services can help reduce academic procrastination through peer support, increased self-awareness, enhanced confidence in learning abilities, and the growth of responsibility in completing academic tasks.]]>
