On Writing 1: Good and Bad Procrastination.
Firstly a huge thankyou to yours truly for keeping things going as I pettered out a little in the run up to Chrismas - those of you who know me can probably guess why :-) (clue Adnams). So welcome back and a merry chrismas to all of you - there is a pile of material outstanding so there should be quite a lot to keep you all going for a while.
In the meantime why not read this very interesting piece by Paul Graham about Procrastination.
Good and Bad Procrastination: "
The most impressive people I know are all terrible procrastinators. So could it be that procrastination isn't always bad?
Most people who write about procrastination write about how to cure it. But this is, strictly speaking, impossible. There are an infinite number of things you could be doing. No matter what you work on, you're not working on everything else. So the question is not how to avoid procrastination, but how to procrastinate well."
