We've always been scolded to never procrastinate. Everyone's only thought of its negativity, we have only looked it in disapproval. Are there any good factors to this rejected habit. It seems Megan Gambino had three pages worth of talking about its benefits. She describes the topic and its positive outcomes and uses from a new book by Frank Partnoy. He wrote about his key to success and his use of procrastination to get there.
If you were to receive an e-mail but wouldn't have to reply to it for a week, why do instantaneously. You're given a week to think on the topic and gather info and details, but rather than taking the time provided you sacrifice time at that moment to reply. This statement derives from the article I'm talking about. His argument states that is your given excess time, why rush to compete it then when you can wait.
Just take a breath. Take more pauses. Stare off into the distance. Ask yourself the first question of this two-step process: What is the maximum amount of time I have available to respond?
--Megan Gambino
A valid point stated in the quote above. I perceive the people around me(classmates, family, etc) and one thing I notice is they never slow down. If they're working on one thing, they're working on another thing. Everybody is like a freight train, they keep moving forward, never stopping even when something blocks its path. People just need to slow down and work steadily with what they have. Hence the phrase, "Enjoy life while you can because it's too short to give up".
