Many of us are guilty of Procrastination, but some people are worse than others in terms of delaying things until later.

Many factors could lead to procrastination. One of those factors is Priorities
I delayed watching a movie to write this post, and it is because I weighed both options and realized that blogging is more important than the movie. The movie can be interesting, but it won't pay my bills. Now, the issue here is that after I am done writing this post, I might not go back to watching the movie. Other options may arise, such as feeling sleepy or having an urgent task to attend to, which will cause me to continue procrastinating watching the movie until I forget about it.
Another factor is Lack of Motivation
If the task is boring, you may lack the motivation to do it. I remember when I was still schooling. If the teacher gave us an assignment, I would keep postponing it until the next day in school, when I would collect one of my friends' own just to copy.
I introduced one of my coursemate to the Hive blockchain and after his introductory post, he stopped posting and when I ask him, he will tell me he will draft a post but he never did, the same guy would also lament about the economy of the country but instead of working, he prefer playing games on his phone, at one point he decided to write again but he never finish the post because he is always procrastinating it until I just let him be, probably blogging is not his way.

Sometimes it could be because we are waiting for the perfect time to do things. And a good example is Splinterlands tournament. I do not like playing immediately it starts because I want others to have entered their team, so I can know my chances of qualifying before playing.
Procrastination is not generally a bad thing, as people think; it all depends on what we are delaying and when it becomes a habit. Like the way I delayed watching a movie can't be termed a bad thing, because I just delayed having fun, and it has no negativity in my life.
It becomes a bad thing when we get addicted to it and start delaying things that will benefit us and miss opportunities that could change our lives.
I am not a candidate of procrastination because I prioritize my tasks over distractions and make sure to get them done!... It is normal to feel tired and not want to do anything, but I never procrastinate my work till the next day. All the delay ends that same day, even if it means doing it overnight, but I make sure to complete all tasks, and the only exception is days that I am sick and my body fails me.
