Some might argue that procrastination isn’t really a big deal, however, it hasn’t been highlighted until recently. After re-reading “Later”, it has helped me better understand the story that conveys “procrastination might be more than just a bad habit” as stated by the author. The evidence provided a lot of insight not just from important figures who are victims of this habit but also from what could potentially be the reason why it affects most of us, that’s why it’s considered to be a “quintessential modern problem” that philosophers, as well as psychologists, weighed in. Interestingly enough, this problem existed way before the 19th century and since then it has affected more and more people in similar circumstances of having “short-term goals overwhelming long-term ones” as stated in the text. In addition, procrastination may be that it has something to do with internal feelings that prevent us from completing the task at that moment and having a short and simple thought of putting it down for a later time setting us unforeseeable issues or plans. Some solutions to combat it might vary from person to person, however, if we view it through experience it takes us to put a limit or a consequence to not go beyond procrastination, for instance the experiment that was conducted by a psychologist at M.I.T of students setting due dates for the paper so that the students wouldn’t feel so unhappy when there are delays (especially if their grade would be docked if not submitted by the end of the semester). Therefore, procrastination is just seen as an excuse for us to skip the hard task that those minded voices ask, “Is it worth it doing?” Eventually, it becomes an instinct.
