Procrastination is not laziness but a sign that life is filled with things one does not truly love. Joy, freedom, and love exist only in the present, while misery and boredom are carried forward.

If you find yourself procrastinating, if you find that you have fixed a schedule for yourself and you can't stick to it, then that is a clear indicator that you have filled up your life with things you don't love. One does not postpone joy. One only postpones suffering. And that is procrastination.
“We will do it tomorrow!” What does it tell us about the quality of our life? We are not in love with what we are doing. We don't find joy in it and hence there is a tendency to lose time.
A few words go along with intelligence: Joy, freedom, love. They happen only in Intelligence. They are not carried forward from the past; neither love, nor freedom, nor intelligence. They are always in this moment.
