What is your favourite form of procrastination ?
I’m unable to procrastinate. I’m unable to think about tomorrow.
That answer is from Amelie Nothomb.
This made perfect sense to me

the present value of my thoughts tomorrow are more valuable than my thoughts today.
Sometimes there’s an accidental upside to severe procrastination.
For instance, I personally am much better off financially (as in: an order of magnitude) than I would have been had I not procrastinated for months in one key situation. By contrast, best-laid punctual plans usually don’t seem to work out. Realizing this has been a serious impediment to any desire to reform.
Maybe we’re just the ragdoll playthings of time, fate, and circumstance.
I’m too lazy to procrastinate. I don’t have enough energy to put it off so that I can do it tomorrow. It tires me so much to think about doing it tomorrow that I would just rather do it now.
