Why is it so hard to believe? It's a recurring theme in the comics and something all too real for a ton of students.

Calvin is eloquent, intelligent, and wildly imaginative, but struggles with things like deadlines and homework.

It’s a recurring theme

And one of the most delightful. Who hasn't been told at some point, "if you put half as much effort into [task] as you did into [avoidance strategy] you'd have been fine"?

Finally internalizing how much nicer it is put in a little bit of effort in advance rather than stressful scrambling after procrastinating was literally life changing. I don’t think I even realized how much subconscious stress I was under during the procrastination. But my kids are just like “shut up dad”
