Introduction for my essay - corrections needed.
Procrastination
Procrastination is the act of putting off intentionally and habitually the doing of something that needs to be done (Definition of procrastinate). According to psychologist William Knaus, an estimated 90% of college students procrastinate; 25% of whom do so regularly (Overcoming Procrastination). I admit that I am also a victim of this terrible habit; it seems that every task that I am required to do involves me procrastinating to some extent. However, I have learnt that procrastination has negative effects on our lives; it is not conducive to good health, happiness or success.

that's a definition from merriam webster online it sepecifically said that, otherwise I don't think I ever would have written it that way either.

HI Danielle,
Merriam Webster: "intransitive senses : to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done"
So procrastination is the act of putting off intentionally the doing of sth. that should be done.
You may want to quote straight from a dictionary and cite the source. Just my 2c..
