I’ve been sitting on this post for awhile so I figure that it’s best to just toss it out there:
“A University of Calgary professor in the Haskayne School of Business has recently published his magnum opus on the subject of procrastination – and it’s only taken him 10 years.
Joking aside, Dr. Piers Steel is probably the world’s foremost expert on the subject of putting off until tomorrow what should be done today. His comprehensive analysis of procrastination research, published in the recent edition of the American Psychological Association’s Psychological Bulletin, presents some surprising conclusions on the subject, such as:
Most people’s New Year’s resolutions are doomed to failure
Most self-help books have it completely wrong when they say perfectionism is at the root of procrastination, and
Procrastination can be explained by a single mathematical equation”
Now if I can only focus on the ThingsAreGood redesign……..
Link is dead… waited too long, eh?
It was working when I put it up.
