IME, intelligence has nothing to do with work capacity, or stress handling, or emotional responses. In fact all the procrastinators I know are more intelligent than the median except for myself, I consider myself average AF.

I don't think procrastination helps at all with learning, because any boost you gain from deadlines approaching is going to be less useful than actually paying attention in small bits over longer periods of time. Think about college. In general very few people can remember most about their careers and unless they use that knowledge somehow, it's very easy to lose it in the next five years or so, yet a good procrastinator can deliver a half baked thesis and be able to graduate if he's good with improv and knows enough about his subject. Ask him about it one year later and he's not going to remember anything about it.

I don't know whether high IQ people are less or more prone to procrastination, but I'm pretty sure having a high IQ doesn't automatically mean you can't procrastinate.
Procrastination doesn't help with studying as cramming is inferior to spaced repetition when it comes to long term retention, and this is after taking the net amount of time spent studying into account.

How does anyone manage to lose an argument with the biggest midwit in academia? Sasha Grey knows more philosophy than him and Cath still lost.

Being less prone to procrastination has to do with Decipline, this is a thing your parents should've teached you

For me procrastination is about carefully calculating how much time you need for the given task and then coming up with a plan to complete it as late as possible. In addition I also calculate the minimum amount of work that I need in order to achieve my predetermined goals.

In this sense, procrastination is the most rational way to live your life.

No. This coming from a guy with an IQ of 120 and Asperger's Syndrome

>>9526040
He said a high IQ

It seems that either low and high IQ are more prone to procrastination, the first because he prefers doing things funnier than his work and the second because he has often attention troubles or be bored by those tasks

I think the average IQ has more chances to be focused

Newton was a chronic procrastinator. I think that tells you enough.

I confirm this. Procrastinator university dropout that got worse and worse until the point I just didn't care anymore. Don't let it set in. Studying bits everyday is much better, wish I had the will to do it.
