Objectives Academic procrastination is an unreasonable delay in the submission of academic assignments, which is very common. This research was designed to develop and study the effect of a mindfulness-based educational package on reducing academic procrastination. 
Methods The educational package based on mindfulness for reducing academic procrastination was designed by using mindfulness-based techniques and the relevant literature of academic procrastination considering the effective constructs, including self-efficacy, test anxiety, self-esteem, and perfectionism. In a quasi-experimental study, 36 subjects were selected. In order to study the effect of the educational package on students, the experimental and control groups were put into pre-test, post-test, and follow-up categories. 
Results Mixed ANOVA revealed the effectiveness of the provided educational package on improving mindfulness (F=20.87; P<0.001) and reducing academic procrastination (F=44.67; P<0.001) whose effect was significant. 
Conclusion Based on the results, self-efficacy, test anxiety, self-esteem, and perfectionism of the participants in the post-test and follow-up were significantly different from the pre-test. The findings of this study are consistent with the findings of previous studies. These results are applicable to clinical and educational practitioners.
