<![CDATA[Procrastination is basically putting off starting or finishing things that really need to get done. This study looks at how students at an Islamic boarding school procrastinate with memorizing the Quran and doing schoolwork, what factors are connected to this behavior, and how it’s handled through one-on-one counseling. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study of a female student. Information came from chatting with her and observing during two counseling sessions. The first session used Motivational Interviewing (MI) to dig into why she was procrastinating, what goals she wanted to reach, and her readiness to change, and the second session used a behavioral approach, involving setting goals and giving herself rewards. The case study results show that procrastination is related to feelings of inferiority when seeing friends who have memorized more, as well as feeling neglected by the ustadzah. Support and appreciation from the environment also help boost the motivation to start activities. After some handling, changes started to appear in Quran memorization activities; students who used to procrastinate began to open and start their memorization at night after Isha prayer. These changes are still just the initial steps and need to be followed up to see if they remain consistent.]]>
