This is one of those cases where science, viewed globally, is being dumb.<p>Is it not consistent with the scientific narrative that procrastination, being a universal behavior, must have been developed evolutionarily for some benefit? It is a pretty sophisticated behavior after all (as the article even describes). So isn&#x27;t it naive to assume it is a problem to be solved? Maybe it is, maybe it isn&#x27;t, but shouldn&#x27;t the early work be in trying to understand the full effects of procrastination on lifestyle and future fitness so that we actually get to a place where we can make judgements about it?<p>TL;DR: These guys are totally amateur hour.
