The study emphasizes that procrastination is a destructive force that hinders the development of personality. Therefore, the goal of this research is to find the most effective way to combat this phenomenon. In the course of their research, the authors refer to the theoretical foundations of the “delayed life syndrome” and use a practical method based on a survey conducted among cadets of the V. V. Lukyanov Oryol Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of this study, the authors were able to achieve their goal. The authors highlight sports as the most effective way to combat procrastination. The habits that an athlete learns during their sports activities help prevent the development of the “delayed life syndrome.” In this study, the fundamental habit is discipline. According to the authors, this quality helps individuals to take action in the present moment. Sports are directly related to setting goals and striving to achieve them.
