New University of Tokyo In his search Nearly 300 young people participated in it, including those who are optimistic about the future and do not tend to procrastinate, while pessimists prefer to wait and wait.

Everyone is a little prone to procrastinating when it comes to work, conversations, and tasks that I don't like. Who enthusiastically throws themselves into vacuuming, breaking up, or confronting their boss? Do you need to study for the exam? Then we prefer to wash the window!

Saya Kashiwakura's graduate students at the University of Tokyo's Department of Arts and Sciences experienced the same thing, so she decided to investigate why.
Kashiwakura analyzed the relationship between procrastination and the procrastinator's view of time, paying particular attention to the image of the future. The first surprise in his research was that procrastination is common among more people than originally assumed. The second is that behavior is also related to the image of the future.
If someone ignores the future, or has difficulty connecting current actions to future results, they are likely to suffer from procrastination. This, according to Kashiwakura and his colleague Professor Kazuo Hiraki, is due to this
Extreme procrastinators are more pessimistic than others.
In the survey, young people were asked about their stress and well-being and how it has changed over time, for example from the last ten years of their lives to the present. Based on the results, participants were classified into four groups based on pessimism-optimism tendencies, and the severe, moderate, and low procrastination groups were divided within that.
Kashiwakura commented on the findings that optimistic people who do not believe they will be under more stress in the future than they are now are more likely not to become severe procrastinators.
Not only the level of stress we face, but also the change in our perception of it affects our procrastination habits. The ten behind us and in front of us (20 total) year Your attitude is what decides whether you are serious or an average procrastinator.
Interestingly, no relationship was found between procrastination and self-attitude or life goals.
Research is also important because exploring influencing factors can free individuals from regret and self-blame, but they can change their attitude towards the future, which can go a long way in avoiding procrastination.
