Screw those mediocre "men of action" as the underground man calls them. Procrastination means you think too much which might mean you're smart. Or just a lazy sod.

i have been working 12 hour shifts and talking to five different girls, arranging and scheduling times to meet with each and every one of them, planning out my money for the respective dates, all while keeping a steady $100 dollars a week in the savings account, bills paid on time.

 

the other day, i finished a website idea of mine for my photography, and started on another one for another site the next day.

 

i don't procrastinate much, but, i think it's because i love the things that i'm usually busy with.

 

Alcoholism is a disease as procrastinating is a disease

and i still make time for alcoholism.

 

ps. i'm posting this from one of the girls' houses while she's in the shower. (the one who likes being tied up, for those who've heard the stories.)

I was watching a documentary about the life of noted British 60's fashion designer Ossie Clark. In it his lifelong friend, David Hockney was speaking about Ossie's need to be seen as an artist. Now it is known that Ossie Clark spent a lot of his time on the party circuit drugging and drinking. So on reflecting whether he was an artist on not David Hockney said that an artist is at home a lot, doing his art, that is what an artist is.

 

So maybe we're intelligent or talented, but without single minded drive, we're nothing. It's worth remembering that.

How to Beat Procrastination

 

This article (which has a really impressive reference list of over 30 items) explains procrastination using the formula

 

motivation =  expectancy * value
            ---------------------
            impulsiveness * delay

which suggests that "to beat procrastination, we need to:

 


  1.  
  2. Increase your expectancy of success.
  3. Increase the task's value (make it more pleasant and rewarding).
  4. Decrease your impulsiveness."

The article then provides suggestions for how to accomplish each of the 3.
