I've already put off writing this article for about a week. Ironic, considering it's about procrastination.
New research has found that there's actually a difference between doers — the people who just get stuff done — and procrastinators — the ones who don't.
In the study, published in the journal Psychological Science, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the brains of 264 men and women. Then they filled out a survey to analyse how impulsive or decisive they were. Participants were given a score for decision-related action orientation (AOD), which essentially divided them into doers or procrastinators.
