Several things:<p>"I only write if I feel like it and on a subject I feel like writing about"<p>No argument there. The world doesn't need more 500 word articles someone got paid $3 to write. Playing to one's strengths is fairly straightforward, and work that's driven by passion tends to be of much higher quality.<p>"Yet psychologists and behavioural economists (these charlatans) seem to think that it is a disease that needs to be remedied and cured."<p>Procrastination has certainly hurt me more than it has ever helped. Perhaps I disagree with the author's implied argument that "nonaction" is the same thing or is similar to procrastination. Procrastination for me is something that makes it harder to do things I know ought to be done. "The doctor who refrains from operating on a back" made a choice and went off to do something else; procrastination would've been the doctor lazying around hours before the operating rather than preparing, or something to that effect (I'm not a doctor).<p>Anyway, just my take on it.
