This study investigates the interplay between personality, resilience, and academic procrastination. Drawing on ayurveda-based triguna and big-five personality frameworks, the research is structured into three studies. Study 1 employed a correlational design with 300 students to examine the relationships between Triguna personality types (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), resilience, and academic procrastination among college students aged 17 to 24 years (M = 20.69, SD = 2.2). Sattva (the mindset of balance, purpose, and mindful action) came out as the strongest predictor (B = -1.211, p < .001) of procrastination. Study 2 examines concurrent validity between big-five personality types and Triguna theory in academic procrastination. Conscientiousness negatively predicted procrastination (B = - 4.432, p < .001) and sattva was positively correlated with conscientiousness (r = .275, p < .01). For study 3, the Headspace application was used with 38 students aged 18 to 22 years (M = 19.32, SD = 1.2) over four weeks. Scores in the high procrastination group dropped within the course of meditation t(18) = 7.53, p < .001, d = 1.73. Low procrastinators showed a moderate increase, t(18) = -2.69, p = .015, d = -0.62. Mind wandering showed a significant time effect, F(1.58, 3.08) = 11.27, p < .001, η² = .238, with a notable reduction in high procrastinators (p = .013, d = 0.76) and a large between-group difference at (t(36) = 4.25, p < .001, d = 1.45). Impulsivity was measured with a go/no-go task. Accuracy didn't change across time or groups. Reaction time showed a main effect of time, F(1.51, 27.14) = 3.06, p = .069, η² = .078, indicating a trend toward faster responses over time. Within the high procrastination group, reaction time improved in the first two weeks, showing a significant reduction, t(36) = 2.49, p = .053, d = 0.80.
