    You don't just magically grow out of procrastination. You have to resolve it one way or another.

    You know, professors are human beings, and they do anything human beings do - for the good and the bad. Once I was shopping in a supermarket, when I run into one of my students. He looked definitely astonished.The next week he went to take the exam and told me: "Yes, at the beginning I was really surprised, but then I thought: oh, they have to eat too, after all". So professors eat, drink, have good habits, bad habits - they can cheat, plagiarize, harass people etc. - and, yes, they do procrastinate.

    academia.stackexchange is probably a pretty darn good example of professors procrastinating (but it is also really useful to all of us)

    I was going to leave the same comment that @Penguin_Knight left, but I guess I waited too long to make the joke first.
