World from a procrastinator’s point of view-
Suppose you have one week to write a blog but you start writing just an hour before your deadline, then congratulations my friend, you qualify as a procrastinator.Welcome to the fraternity.So who are these procrastinators in the first place?

Well, if internet is to be believed:- Procrastination is defined as the habitual/intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite its negative consequences. It is a common human experience involving delay in everyday chores or even putting off salient tasks such as attending an appointment, submitting a job report or academic assignment or broaching a stressful issue with a partner. Although typically perceived as a negative trait due to its hindering effect on one’s productivity often associated with depression, low self-esteem, guilt and inadequacy , it can also be considered a wise response to certain demands that could present risky or negative outcomes or require waiting for new information to arrive. Various types of procrastination (such as academic/non academic or behavioral/ indecisive) has their own underlying causes and effects. The most prominent explanation in present literature draws upon “Intemporal discounting, task averseness and certain personality traits such as indecisiveness and distractibility ” as the common causes of procrastination.

In lay man’s language a procrastinator is just a normal person but with extraordinary ability to postpone his/her duties till the very end and then working their asses off in completing the task.

Often people confuse procrastinators with lazy, no my friend ,you too are highly mistaken if you think so.. Here’s an analogy that will help you have a closer incite of a procrastinator’s mindset. In the brain of a procrastinator is what is called an INSTANT GRATIFICATION MONKEY, yes a monkey, and mostly it’s this monkey who handles the steering wheel of the person’s body, the monkey is fun-junkie, and wants amusement right then and there at the moment, so what if you got work to do? But…. sharing the mind-space with the monkey , is a PANIC MONSTER, now the panic monster is asleep most of the time and wakes up only when it’s almost the end.Now once the panic monster wakes up,it kicks the monkey to the back seat and takes charge.And there my friend,you’ll see the procrastinator work like a horse.

Being a proud member of the community myself, I would like to enlighten what a dilemma a procrastinator goes through every time he has to make a decision , it’s like a split second or a dropping point where the decision could take any turn and it’s just then something within, stops us from thinking and just take the easy way out.
But it’s not always that procrastination has a negative effect , a study shows that 90% of the procrastinators end up getting better results than the precrastinators. The main reason given was that they have that extra time to think about the problem than the people who finished it before and never looked at it again.Actually recent studies classify procrastinators into two categories : active and passive procrastinator.Passive procrastinators are procrastinators in the traditional sense. They are paralyzed by their indecision to act and fail to complete tasks on time. In contrast, active procrastinators are a “positive” type of procrastinator. They prefer to work under pressure, and they make deliberate decisions to procrastinate.
The present studies showed that although active procrastinators procrastinate to the same degree as passive procrastinators, they are more similar to non-procrastinators than to passive procrastinators in terms of purposive use of time, control of time, self-efficacy belief, coping styles, and outcomes including academic performance. The present findings offer a more sophisticated understanding of procrastination behavior and indicate a need to reevaluate its implications for outcomes of individuals.

So the best chance any passive procrastinator has got is to try and be an active procrastinator and see his life change for good.
