Let's think there are work for 8 hours. You might procrastinate 4 hours and then make all work for 1 hour and you have 3 hours free. Of course it created pain because you putting yourself when you have no time to finish but it is rewarded. I know procrastination is so pain but it is so rewarded in new methods ideas and approaches.

I checked the customers like ideas which you come out in 5 minutes to deadline. Procrastination exists for a reason. Procrastination is bad only for simple job.

Hour of procrastination might save a lot hours of work as it allow brain work transparently. The power of procrastination is so strong. May be your work is a digger to say so:) I don’t agree, because when you procrastinate you usually come out with easy and productive idea when you are not you just working not smart.

Not to mention life. Your blood pressure is at its highest for the first 3 hours after waking, blood vessels are not so elastic and blood itself is much stickier in the morning (I know how it feels), which all adds up to a heart attack waiting to happen, if you engage in anything at all strenuous. By contrast, afternoon exercise can lower blood pressure by as much as 10%. In the morning, it has either no effect, or a slight increase (from its already high point)." Great article – though bear in mind exercise is better done in the afternoon – fits in better with the body clock.

Therefore it is on the 'cause' side of things however the analysis treats it on the 'result' side.. aren't you discussing why we procrastinate?

Thanks. Perhaps, sometimes, we procrastinate to avoid people too as tasks may involve difficult-to-handle associates and in order not to confront them, we procrastinate. It's just like what Dave says, the "pain". Procrastination is not the ultimate solution but once there is a clue/the truth unravelled, there is a lighted path towards the exit. Great reminding tips.
