I think procrastination, and mental laziness in general, is an offshoot of Depression: The lack of motivation, that “Why bother?” wall..



Or maybe some people are content with just existing, eating, hanging out with friends and family. It's not lazy to not want to push yourself mentally.


Procrastination is generally understood to be “not doing something you know you should be doing”, i.e. putting something off for later, not “not wanting to push yourself”.
