It is difficult to prove a negative. I consulted several dictionaries,
including the unabridged Merriam-Webster and the unabridged Oxford
English Dictionary. Neither 'procastinastic' nor 'procrastinastic'
appeared in any of the dictionaries I checked. I don't see how we
could provide a history of something that is essentially a made-up
word.

Of course, if your definition of "real word" is "something that has
appeared somewhere in print," then 'procastinastic' became a real word
as soon as you posted this question. ;-)
