For one example, someone who knows themselves to do certain work well under pressure and even get a thrill from it, and who has many interests that “pay rewards” available to them at any time, may choose to procrastinate on work until there’s enough pressure to trigger that special lovely “no time to waste” flow state. There’s no depression there, no lack of reward triggers, just a priority sort and a special extra reward for working in a certain pressured mode. But it still looks like procrastination from the outside and still raises some inner dissonance over risk management and social conformity that make people fret over it as a strategy.
