"Well," thought I, "this will be fun!" So I googled procrastination, and came up with lots of stuff. Admittedly, some of it was boring, but there was some fantastic (abiet procrastination encouragers rather than procrastination defeaters) stuff. Some of the award winners (in no particular order) are as follows:
- A cute little article by a philosophy instructor on the wonders of procrastination.
http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~john/procrastination.html
- Procrastination and You, which includes a test to measure your procrastination, quotes on procrastination, suggestions for fun ways to procrastinate, and some other stuff. My test results are as follows:
75 out of a possible 100
You rank between the top 25% and 10% in terms of
procrastination. That is, when it comes to putting things off, you often do so
even though you know you shouldn’t. Likely, you are more free-spirited and
spontaneous than most. Probably, your work doesn’t engage you as much as you
would like or perhaps you are surrounded by easily available and more pleasant
temptations. These temptations may initially seem rewarding, but in the
longer-term, you see many of them as time-wasters. Though you likely often still
get your work done, there is probably a lot of last minute panicking and
unwanted stress. You may want to reduce what procrastination you do commit.

- A rather theoratical article about procrastination, that, while admittedly not the wittiest thing you will ever read in your life, has some interesting ideas on the different types of procrastinators out there.

- And then, of course, how can I write a discorse on procrastination without directing you to The Queen of West Procrastination?
