I glimpsed the article. The procrastination stood out to me. I think that sort of thing is taught, and has nothing to do with being a millennial.
My niece's, both in their early 20s now, fit into the millennial bracket. They too put off tasks & errands and procrastinate like crazy. My ex born in the 1960s was also a huge procrastinator. Reason all 3 of these people put things off ... they knew if they waited it out, someone else, somewhere else, will get sick & tired of their bullshit, and just do the task. Example of the guy in the article who didn't register to vote , until someone did it for him. I refused to rescue my ex and my brother refuses to jump in and save my niece's from themselves also. He's on to something. We aren't doing anyone favours by letting them procrastinate their way through life. It drove me nuts to be married to someone like that. Drives my brother nuts to work with people like that. People can easily change that bit about themselves and really should. It's annoying af 😂
