There Are Fundamental Differences Between The Brains of Doers And Procrastinators
It's not laziness.

Researchers have long been fascinated by the gulf that separates procrastinators and doers. But even though several social and psychological differences have been identified, until now, no one has compared the brains of these two groups.
A new study has investigated the neural basis for impulse control, and has found that the brains of procrastinators and doers really do differ at a fundamental level.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the study examined the brains of 264 women and men. Afterwards, the participants filled out a survey measuring their ability to control actions and impulses - receiving a score for decision-related action orientation (AOD). Or in other words how much they were 'doers' or 'procrastinators'.
