"The more Juanita thought about it, the more committed she became to finding an answer. With five clicks on her laptop, she was surfing the waves of the world’s greatest information ocean. One website after another bombarded her screen. Researcher upon researcher had pondered the same question, and apparently geneticists had discovered a gene associated with procrastination. Juanita nearly jumped out of her skin. As she soaked in the information, Juanita learned that scientists had discovered a genetic defect that pointed to the root of the procrastination problem. By studying primates, geneticists had learned that if the defective gene was isolated and injected with a combination of synthetic hormones, a chemical reaction occurred in the brain, which triggered a transformation in work ethic. The conversion of the gene caused the monkeys to be consistently on task and goal oriented. However, when the artificial hormone was depleted from the gene, the monkeys returned to their “normal” selves, lagging behind in productive performance."
