Video gamers have different brains than non-frequent gamers.

I wonder if pressure from a deadline counts as "losing". Would go a long way to explaining procrastination.

I think that's different. At least I don't procrastinate because I want to feel pressure and whatever rewarding feeling overcoming the challenge might provide. If that's what you are saying.

I do believe there might be a relation between getting used to video games (+other media) with their "instant rewards" and procrastinating stuff. If I could dive into the media junky cycle, I would. If it weren't for social/"life pomegranate" pressure, I would remain a vegetable. Which describes my attitude towards studies in general. (As much as I would like to deny it).


Also, over defensive people are over defensive. That's a sign.
