Taking a long time to do something not worth doing, that is, doing it inefficiently, seems even more useless.

I was surprised by how many people think of themselves as procrastinators, but, like me, seem to get a lot done anyway.

Hope provides comfort, and hope does not always require probability.

Task triage is the habit of making a realistic assessment of what degree of perfection is required for a task at the point of accepting it, so one doesn't need to rely on one's habit of procrastinating to lower the bar.

Plan your day with an eye to your tendency to procrastinate, and put in safeguards to keep it to a minimum.

You may lack will power, but that doesn't mean you can't take a lot of steps to make yourself more productive.

The essence is that many procrastinators are "structured procrastinators," people who, like me, get a lot done as a way of not working on what they should ideally be working on.
