Ten-ish years ago I worked on a trading system. NASDAQ created a new regulation that required us to change how our system worked on a very tight deadline. As an eager eng manager I was ready to pause other projects and dive into it.<p>My business folks said there was no way this regulation would go into effect on time. They bet none of our competitors would comply in time and the exchange would have to extend the timeline by many months.<p>So we did nothing, and they were right.

When I&#x27;m tempted to procrastinate on something important I add a 15 minute block to the calender and force myself to do the smallest unit of effort against the task. Often I find it&#x27;s enough to get the ball rolling.<p>I use a similar method that I heard from Scott Adams when you are lying down and should get up but don&#x27;t want to--start by moving just one finger, then your hand, etc. Odd but effective.

This technique by John Perry (Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Stanford) actually makes sense:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.structuredprocrastination.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.structuredprocrastination.com&#x2F;</a><p>The idea is that we&#x27;d rather be doing something else. For example, currently, I am postponing grading. So I don&#x27;t mind doing a peer review of a paper. When that&#x27;s the thing that&#x27;s due, I&#x27;d rather be doing something else, and so on. You get work done by rearranging stuff :)

This PDF is clearly a mocking, derogatory, and provocative article, written by people who are not ... they are not procrastinating, on the contrary, they immediately commit to writing something nonsense against useful reasoning; why is not relevant. the facts are decisive, the facts in this PDF are these:<p>+ put random sentences that are blatantly meaningless<p>+ they write the word STUFF as if to mean that whoever is to procrastinate uses this word as an important word<p>+ do not in any way describe a real experimentation<p>+ quote someone&#x27;s phrase without a relative rational sense<p>+ they put on an image of an hand, clearly provocative, senseless, expressing nothing<p>these in this article are considered academic-trolls, discrediting the natural method of procrastinating something not essential at the moment<p>then if we could go and look in the world for all those who are against procrastination we would see just who the directors of these trolls are<p>procrastination is rationality when applied to something not essential at the moment, it cannot be useful to apply it to everything, it does not refer to everything, and it is relative, like any other method of action, to rationality<p>there is no rationality in committing to using an academic context to discredit a topic, you are not going anywhere; this is a world that instead of procrastinating what it can to do something else and optimize resources and possibilities, produces 1000 things when 100 are needed, allows 100 companies of a service when not even one would be needed and the service should be managed by those who know how to perform it (such as the Internet: experts and graduates in telecommunications ... what are the others?)<p>reading this PDF is depressing (I&#x27;m sure they had some crazy laughs while writing it).<p>or maybe I wrong all my comment (this comment) and you can try to procastinato to ∞ any reaction versus me and my comment

FYI there&#x27;s a typo in the title (&quot;procastrination&quot;). You could fix it now, or maybe just do it later.

It would appropriate to quote one old saying, possibly originated in armed forces of a certain country: &quot;do not rush to execute an order, it will likely be canceled&quot;

Typo in the title (not the source). &quot;Procrastination&quot;.

I can’t decide which i like more: Figure 1, or the authors’ contact information (and pointed lack thereof in the case of one notable name).

I confess I’m slightly annoyed to be trolled. Maybe I just don’t know enough to appreciate it.
