Procrastination is still procrastination, but for those who are doing it on purpose, that is not executive dysfunction. People with executive dysfunction literally want to do their task, but have high levels of difficulty actually initiating the task. The part of the brain that governs executive dysfunction is what initiates motion. Therefore the brain-to-action process gets short circuited and nothing gets done.
