The saying, "procrastination is the thief of time" is bull. My diametrically opposite saying is "procrastination is the donator of time."

If I didn't procrastinate I wouldn't have any time left to do what I want to do. And what is the point of life if you never do what you actually want to do?

Procrastinating is a life saver. It's good for you. Why do you think it makes you feel so guilty?

The rest of this page about procrastination will be written soon.

On the talkback comments
  In reply to John: One point John raised was (I quote) "Procrastination is in all reality the thief of the worlds time. If there were no procrastination then no one would be late for business meetings"


Being late is about punctuality, not procrastination. Not all unpunctuality is due to procrastination. People can be late because they overslept, or the trains were running late, or any of a myriad reasons.

Talking of business meetings - I know many sad people who love meetings. And the reason they love them is they can defer doing any real work. Meetings themselves are a form of procrastination!!

Business meetings tend to be ill-managed, as any fule kno, and hence, on average, they cut down the total amount of productive, wealth-generating work that gets done. Now I'm not saying that all meetings are bad, but 80% of the meetings I have attended were a waste of time for 80% of those present for 80% of the time. I wouldn't mind betting that this is true generally.
Meetings, rather than procrastination, are the thief of time.

Thanks for the talkbacks so far,
- Jim
