  • Spider Solitaire

    Loved the article on the history of the game, but had hoped it may give more tips on how to beat the ''addiction''. I waste at least an hour a day on this, even when I try to limit myself to three games (and finish with the saved game) - am on the most difficult level with a success rate of only 5%, but yet I keep trying! and playing.....

  • Observation on Procrastination

    My recent spate of procrastinatory behavior (i.e. my decision to read Slate's entire procrastination issue) has made one thing painfully obvious to me: the internet does not help in our procrastinatory habits. As I progressed through the articles, it was only natural that I gained a heightened sense of my own procastinatory habits. With that ...

  • Procrastination and Risk Aversion

    As an intercultural consultant, I am surprised that none of the studies that were mentioned looked at the connection between procrastination and risk aversion or uncertainty avoidance. It seems to me that in cultures with higher risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance as values, they would not perceive procrastination as procrastination, but ...

  • not as much as the american blogger

    I have a theory that blogging is all about timing - which is why we bloggers sit around and wait so much... http://thefiresidepost.com/2008/05/12/procrastination-posting/ maybe it is international...

  • The best procrastination novel...

    ...has got to be Oblomov, a late 19th century Russian novel that I read over 30 years ago (so I've forgotten the author). I only know of one other person who has read it, a friend who is an author and a great fan of Russian literature; he loved it too. It's 7-800 pages about a bored nobleman who spends his days in bed! When I was reading it, I ...

  • But who all finished the surveys?

    The most glaringly obvious point about the pan-national student procrastination survey was missing from the article (at least the first page - I plan to finish reading the second page soon): That is, wouldn't the most procrastinatious simply not finish (or submit) the survey? Otherwise a great article.

  • And Eliot's Casaubon

    I was surprised not to see Reverend Casaubon from ''Middlemarch,'' who dies after a career of gathering information for his ''The Key to All Mythologies.'' He is, for me, the comic epitome of the pendantic would-be writer ''just waiting'' to enlighten the world.

  • Re: The Ombudsman Is Evil

    I agree with Kant. If you do not hold someone to the same standards you would others in the same position then you are dismissing them as being able to have the same standards as the other people. Procrastination is not regarded religiously enough. Procrastination can wreck careers Destroy marriages and create really great sex lives. If ...
