> If you're hard-wired to be impulsive and have a knack for viewing things in a negative light, it is in fact incredibly hard to get rid of such behavioral tendencies simply by "getting off your butt, man." The “fatalistic” view – in that there might be very little to be called “free will” – would assume that nearly all of a person's behaviour is dictated by genes shaped by life experience (response to which also depends on the same). For procrastination, one could coarsely define some archetypes: * Those who don't procrastinate * Those who procrastinate but can overcome the tendency easily or with difficulty * Those who procrastinate and can't overcome it despite trying * Those who procrastinate and won't try to overcome it (either because they don't want to or don't think they'll succeed)
