Don't Delay
Understanding procrastination and how to achieve our goals.
by Timothy A. Pychyl
Why delay is good, necessary and happening now
Excerpts:
All procrastination is delay, but not all delay is procrastination.
Procrastination is the irrational delay of an intended action despite the knowledge that we will probably be worse off for the delay in terms of performance and/or our feelings. Procrastination doesn't have a "good side." It's a needless, unnecessary delay that may, by chance alone, at times in our lives "pay off," but that is the exception, not the rule.
Procrastination is a failure of our ability to self-regulate.
Delay is part of our successful self-regulation.
