Recognize that procrastination has its benefits from "summary" of The Art of Procrastination by John Perry
Procrastination is often seen as a negative habit that we should all strive to eliminate from our lives. However, what if I were to tell you that procrastination actually has its benefits? Yes, you read that correctly. There are actually advantages to putting things off until the last minute.
One benefit of procrastination is that it allows us to prioritize our tasks. When we procrastinate on a task, we are essentially giving ourselves more time to think about what truly needs to be done. This can help us focus on the most important tasks and disregard the ones that are less crucial.
Furthermore, procrastination can also lead to increased creativity. When we procrastinate, our minds are free to wander and explore new ideas. This can result in novel solutions to problems that we may not have thought of if we had tackled the task right away.
In addition, procrastination can actually improve our decision-making skills. By delaying a decision, we give ourselves more time to gather information and consider all possible outcomes. This can lead to more informed and thoughtful choices in the long run.
So, the next time you find yourself putting off a task, don't be too hard on yourself. Recognize that procrastination has its benefits, such as helping you prioritize tasks, fostering creativity, and improving decision-making skills. Embrace the art of procrastination and see how it can positively impact your life.
