Great Show on Talk of the Nation
I really enjoyed the show you did with John Perry at Talk of the Nation.
Procrastination, as you know, might be THE occupational hazard of academics if there is one.
While I think tackling the issue of procrastination itself should be the number one goal, as long as in a given case that doesn't work (yet), this 'structured procrastination' approach is really the way to go. It's simply the most rational strategy given a tendency to procrastinate.
Keep up the good work! Procrastination is a major source of unhappiness for many people. So if you can contribute to finding ways to cope with that, that really makes a great difference in people's lifes!
Tools for Academics
Procrastination
As I'm writing the 2nd paper for an introduction class, back into the world of education via the computer, no class meetings or face to face. Online Education. The subject I'm writing on, Time Management chosen by me in an effort to increase my knowledge in the art of juggling a family, work, an up coming board exam and this new, to me, online college. But yet, I constantly procrastinate! I found your article very informative & I will refer to it as often as possible which really means, Maybe I will maybe I won't?... Thank you,
Grant PS, I will get a shirt.
