Speech And Speech: The Importance Of Procrastination

There is no way to be an honest student if you have never engaged in the entertainment of procrastination. Few of the motivated people in this world realize that procrastination isn't simply pointless nonsense. It has a pattern. A process. And it is overlooked by those of another mindset called productivity. If you are a procrastinator you will already know about these concepts and perhaps will want to add some suggestions of your own. For the more productive this mindset will not come naturally so that is why you now can refer to this paper to more effectively engage in the ancient art of the idle: procrastination.

The first step to effectively procrastinating is to develop a 'To Do' list of tasks and goals that you would otherwise complete

The joy of procrastination is that you can apply it to absolutely anything you want and it will work every time. Choose a task from the top of your list. It is crucial that this be one of the most important tasks on your list!

From this point, read your list backwards until something semi-interesting grabs your attention and do that thing. It could be organizing your spice cupboard or inspecting that one squeaky hinge in your garage, the actual task doesn't matter so long as it is small and easily completable. After oiling the single hinge, you will be filled with a deep sense of accomplishment which will trigger the reward sectors of your brain. This sense of entitlement will allow you to continue with peaceful idleness. If this is not the case and you still feel pushed to complete tasks, simply continue completing projects on your list from least importance to most. Procrastination is always successful so long as you don't complete the task you initially started until you have a small deadline and are rushed to complete it.

While frowned upon by many, the practice of procrastination is essential to the understanding of human functionality. Applying these techniques to any life
