A relatively unique concept put forth by Chu & Choi (2005), \'Active\' procrastination looks at the \'effective\' and \'efficient\' kind of procrastination characterized by the actives \'deliberate\' and \'intentional\' desire to procrastinate. With high self -awareness and skillful use of unstructures time, the active procrastinator gets his work done on time (inspite of procrastinating) and is actually satisfied with the outcome.
