I feel like our everyday procrastination increases when we feel that we cannot perceive the future, and it may hold something unexpected which will ruin our current course of action, And working towards the task in hand seems of no value.
But as experience is growing I found these feelings as negative thoughts which will fade away given some time, given some boring moments like taking a nap in grass on a sunny afternoon, that may be the reason behind procrastination.
Anyway, how we see what the future holds, this is an ultimate quest we keep follow as we grow wiser,
Let use take an example: What image of future we think of when we say future world, following came first in my list when I searched google for 'Future world' (*1),
Above is one result of the search phrase 'man living in harmony with nature' (*2), you can see data is changing our perception of future, I thought about future, I searched what the future world will look like and I can see some images which are on the web because of their commercial value, as a tree-house is living having less commercial value than the urban living in an industrial world.
If I do a survey between these two images, and ask people where they will want to live, I am sure the answer will go in favor of the tree-house, here the search phrases 'man living in harmony with nature' may not match everyone's personal opinions, as I personally want to live in a tree-house, somebody else may prefer the farmhouse, barn or so on,
Our perception of future is being changed by the industrial world for its present benefits, and that is the one of the point for writing this, we should vision our future world, as we are shaping this present into future, so we should argue about the things/event/media which are changing our perception of future, especially those which are doing so for their present benefit, for future generations don't have any present voice, we are the only one who are their voice.
Secondly, about the negativity and procrastination, these feeling comes when we feel that we are left very far behind in the race to future, let us understand this also by an example :
IoT is a buzzword, in some degrees we have IoT in our everyday life, amazon Eco, Alexa , these device are in the market to take control of some of the supported devices in our household, like the light bulb, and these come at a cost, which not only the end user bears but indirectly everyone on the planet bears, to see what the cost is, think about all the parts of that IoT equation, the part in the bulb that communicate with the device, the part of the device that communicate with your WiFi network and the chain of the commercial connections these IoT have with each other.
All that business just for the leisure of 'Alexa switch off the light' sound command, that doesn't seems healthy!
Will someone create a device that detects the pollution a particular vehicle is causing and alert the appropriate owner to take action, no , because this action doesn't have any commercial value for anyone in the industry,
What you feel if your friend has bought one of these IoT device,.. left behind in the race of future,
that is what destroying us slowly, nobody cares about future consequences but everybody look at each other for latest action they have done in the present, and feel left behind unless they do the same,
Action should come from the motive, not the feeling which lead us to copy someone, and that is all we need to think to avoid that negative feeling,

I would question, why the future world should look like above? Why so many of buildings and buildings, why not something like following:
