If he didn't finish something one day, he continued the next day - and that's definitely not procrastinating even though he didn't stay to work "overtime" and finish everything that needed finishing directly. <br /><br />So I might have (consciously or unconsciously) decided not to read that book - and that's not procrastinating either. Procrastination is deciding that I will read the book, but putting it off 'til tomorrow or next week or another year. If other books get read first - that's prioritizing, not procrastinating. ...but you can still crack a lot of jokes about procrastination. <br /><br />"I’m going to stop putting things off, starting tomorrow!" :-)pargmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208443783482286491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7165044694341896839.post-691247339438423162011-10-10T17:36:55.892+02:002011-10-10T17:36:55.892+02:00That you haven't read the books on getting thi...That you haven't read the books on getting things done must mean that you are NOT procastinating. Best way of not getting things done is to constantly set up new routines for getting things done (that will be implemented starting TOMORROW) :)Magnushttp://blay.senoreply@blogger.com
