text: Priorities or how it's more commonly known, procrastination, can have such a major impact on a person's daily life that it's a plague. Procrastination stems from the way one views their priorities and the oppourtunity costs of choosing to do one thing over another. In the case for most teenagers, they would much rather hang out with friends or party rather than do homework given the choice. It's most prominent at someone's home rather than school or a work-like enviornment, because a home is designed to be comfortable and adapted towards your interests. So more often than not people, especially teenagers, become distracted at home to commit to their hobbies rather than school work through a laptop. Another thing is that a school-issued laptop is basically an invitation to stay off-task.
