Definitely talk about how you’re trying to overcome it. Don’t make it seem like the problem is no longer existent, because if it was you wouldn’t be writing about it, but talk about the steps you’ve taken to improve yourself. If you’ve seen progress, say that. Don’t just say there’s progress though, talk about how you’re trying to improve yourself. I think that, in this question, colleges want to see how you actively mature your learning habits. Defining a flaw shows your awareness, but discussing how you plan to overcome it/are already overcoming it shows that you are capable of improving yourself as a student and as a person. For procrastination specifically, you could say that you’ve tried to schedule your homework time or have limited distractions somehow or whatever it is you did to improve your study habits.

Hope I helped!! Could you help me? (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-essays/1388703-help-supplement-essay-will-help-you-back-d.html#post14820623)
