the art of making future you absolutely furious with present you
means the act of putting off something you should be doing now, usually in favor of literally anything else.
from Straight from Latin: 'pro-' (forward) plus 'crastinus' (of tomorrow), itself from 'cras' meaning 'tomorrow.' So at its root the word literally means 'to move forward to tomorrow' — the Romans had a tidy single verb, 'procrastinare,' for the universal human habit of shoving today's task onto the next sunrise. It arrived in English in the 16th century, fully formed and ready to be ignored until later.
