13. Procrastination

We are all guilty of procrastination. We tend to postpone and delay something that we don’t want to do, even though we know that there might be negative consequences.

Although you might not have expected this, there is actually a connection between procrastination tendency and genetics. In conformity with a study that was published in Psychological Science in 2014, it has been found that almost half of procrastination inclination can be linked to genetics.

In 2018, another study was published in the same magazine and it came out with new information. The researchers found that people who have a larger amygdala – which is the brain’s processing center, and also something that is inherited from parents – are more likely to procrastinate.
