Pre-crastination is the tendency to begin a task as quickly as possible, even at the cost of additional effort. Our lab investigates this phenomenon using the bucket task, where participants often choose to carry a bucket farther just to get started sooner. We have replicated and extended previous findings, examining how this tendency generalizes to cognitive tasks, such as mentally carrying number strings, and how it varies with task difficulty and visibility. Our work suggests that pre-crastination may reflect a stable individual difference, observable across physical and cognitive domains. Current projects explore whether it is the inclination to start a task or the drive to complete it that underlies this behavior, and how perceptual factors, like the visibility of the task, influence the effect.
