structured procrastination

I think that this article was very interesting. It seems to make sense as well, which kind of scares me! Basically, I read the article and learned that by objectively completing tasks that are lower on the priority list, a procrastinator can put off the monumental tasks until they are replaced by even greater tasks. At this point, the once monumental tasks have now moved lower down on the priority list, and as a result procrastinators won’t feel so bad about accomplishing these objectives. Although it seems kind of confusing, I think this idea has a lot of good potential in a procrastinator’s life. I know that I procrastinate at times, and have noticed myself taking care of lesser tasks as a way to distract myself from what’s really important. By consciously pursuing a similar way of procrastinating bigger tasks, I do think it’s possible to make my life more efficient. As somebody who is always stressed out by large projects, I will definitely be trying this out within the next few weeks to see if it makes me more efficient or at least less stress full!
