If I could only get around to it...
I've always had a problem with procrastination and I've never found success with traditional approaches to overcoming the problem. Now I think I have discovered why: traditional approaches contribute to the feelings of guilt and inadequacy which reinforce the urge to procrastinate. I have just found some light-hearted and even humorous approches that look to have much more potential to help. The best and most thorough is published by the California Polytechnic State University but the funniest is Structured Procrastination by John Perry. Don't discount Perry's essay. I believe his method to have a lot more potential for success than more "serious" pieces of advice. (By the way, John Perry is a professor of philosophy at Stanford University and was just invited into the American Acadamy of Arts and Sciences in 2002. Apparently he's managed to get something done...)
