Thank you Sabith-- as a personal procrastinator -- it is such a fascinating and frustrating struggle. The concept of affective forecasting really hits home—it's wild how our present emotions can so easily override our long-term goals. The breakdown of delay discounting and hyperbolic discounting makes so much sense, especially when thinking about why we often choose short-term rewards over bigger future benefits.
