I think we procrastinate because of boredom. It's not that what needs to get done isn't important, it's that it's just not stimulating enough. TV, Video games, Internet, Music, etc. Are high stimulation, low effort tasks. While these tasks are really exciting, you don't have to think hard/at all when doing them.
Alpha state
Alpha state is relaxing, enjoyable, addicting, fun. Staying at a Beta wave level is hard, it takes effort- if what you're doing isn't active or interesting enough, it's much more difficult to stay on that task. When we come to the point where something NEEDS to get done, I think stress and pressure forces that need to try to finish before the point of no return.
