    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Procrastination is a universal phenomenon, with a significant\nproportion of the population reporting interference and even\nharm from such delays. Why do people put off tasks despite\nwhat are apparently their best intentions, and why do they de-\nliberately defer in the face of prospective failure? Past research\nshows that procrastination is a heterogeneous construct with\npossibly diverse causes. To grapple with the complexity of the\ntopic, we construct a taxonomy of different types of procrasti-\nnation and potential sources for each type. We simulate com-\npletion patterns from three broad model types: exponential or\ninconsistent temporal discounting, and waiting for interesting\ntasks; and provide some preliminary evidence, through com-\nparisons with real-world data, of the plausibility of multiple\ntypes of, and pathways for, procrastination.",
