This is one of the best articles that I've ever seen on procrastination. It's really worth reading both parts and sitting with it a minute and thinking about how you feel. It's not just about being late, loving a rush, not being in control, feeling bad about yourself, or self doom. It's complicated.

PP 7:58 here. Thanks for this article. It's really good.

If I'm having a particularly unproductive day, I set a timer - this works well for students & homework too: Work for 45min, goof-off for 15min. For a task I'm really procrastinating over - I might start w/10-15min on that task. You can do anything for 10-15min, right?
