The world at large seems to have put out the message that procrastination is to be avoided at all costs.
But just hold on and and think about that for a moment. Now one could say that just thinking about something instead of simply getting on and doing is procrastination. But remember the old saying ‘act in haste, repent at leisure? So in this instance, thinking before acting would be a good thing.
What about speaking out in haste and anger? How many times have you wished you’d counted to ten before making unwise, hurtful remarks in the spur of the moment?
List making could be viewed as procrastination by some people, but what really counts, is not the actual list making, but how you use that list.
For example, after you have written out your ‘to do’ list, do you go back and mark the items on your list in order of priority?
Well done if you do, because you are then in a better position to tackle them accordingly.
This means that you can legitimately procrastinate over the more insignificant items on your list, and concentrate first on what really matters. You will achieve far greater satisfaction and feel so much better in yourself afterwards.
