Procrastinate the right way!

You know the feeling. You've got an email you need to write, a paper you need to turn in, a form you need to fill out, or an enormous pile of laundry that needs washing. But all you want to do is kick back on the couch, watch Netflix, and think about all the important work you're not doing. It doesn’t help feeling guilty either.

Putting off your work isn’t such a bad thing. It is the ‘universal state of being for humans.’ We will, at any given point of time, have more things on our plate than we could possibly handle. That’s where learning how to procrastinate comes in.

Helps productivity

Why do it now if you can panic about it at the eleventh hour? Use this tendency to take better decisions and get more done. Remember your procrastination only helps your productivity, if you actually use the time you’re taking on productive things. Otherwise, you’re only being efficient at shaping your couch’s hollowness.

It has constantly being drilled into us that procrastination is a bad thing. So why embrace it? Let me tell you this. Historians say otherwise. Greeks and Romans regarded procrastination highly.

Managing delay

Managing delay is an important tool. People tend to be more happy and successful when they manage delay. Delayed apologies are more effective as they give the wronged party a chance to tell how they feel in response.

Prioritise

Procrastination helps you prioritize in your life. People are less inclined to procrastinate towards things that give them joy, passion and purpose. Procrastination gives more time to gather information, analyse and strategize.

Time pressure

Isaac Newton did not have an apple fall on his head. Thomas Edison didn’t suddenly discover the light bulb. This tells us that great things always take time.
If we are to solve long-term problems, we need to create a structure where people are given larger periods of time without time pressure to achieve maximum results.
