Here are 3 studies that gives fresh perspectives on:

• Why rushing to finish tasks on time may be costly.
• Why people feel tired after doing mental hard tasks.
• Why using antidepressants don’t improve quality of life.

It feels great to get things done early, but it comes at a cost.

We often talk about people waiting until it’s too late to get things done.

Procrastination is vilified as the enemy of productivity. That’s why entire army of self-help books and motivational talks is hinged on correcting this urge to put things off till the last minute.

It turns out, however, an intriguing counterpart exists at the other end of the spectrum: “precrastination.” And it isn’t pretty either.

Just as procrastination comes at a cost, people sometimes have an unusual urge to rush to do things early, even if it means more work.

Precrastination is the tendency to hurriedly complete a task without checking to ensure those tasks have been done efficiently.
