Procrastination is a rather serious issue. Various researches
shown that, for example, up to 70% of students tend to
procrastinate at least occasionally. Another interesting number
was brought to attention in a recent research done by Tim Pychyl
and Jennifer Lavoie - they discovered that 47% of the time spent
online on the internet amounts to nothing else but work
avoidance.
Many people look for an instant cure for everything, but
especially when it comes to procrastination, such a cure remains
a distant dream. Procrastination can be a really tough nut to
crack, as the word itself is just a non-descriptive label
covering many possible symptoms and causes, often quite
unrelated.
In a hope that it will inspire some, I am offering a recipe from
my anti-procrastination cuisine:
Recipe by: http://www.procrastinationhelp.com/
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Ingredients and requirements:
1 full pot of water 1 teaspoon of herb of oblivion 2 pounds of
awareness 1 cup of enthusiasm and passion 1 pen 1 blank book
As the first step, open your drawer and throw away all the old
cookbooks. No matter who wrote them, was it your mother, your
father, perhaps your teacher or your significant other, whoever
was the author, throw these cookbooks away. Take the blank book;
write your name as an author on it and this recipe on the first
empty page, as the first one of the recipes to come.
Next step, heat the water over medium flame, add subsequently
the herb of oblivion and two pounds of awareness. Toss in the
enthusiasm and passion while stirring several times, and cook
until the mixture is well-blended, about 20 minutes. Drink one
glass every day immediately after awakening.
