A friend of mine died a few years ago.  He was no success by society&#x27;s standards, but a success in my eyes.  He had a saying that at first I didn&#x27;t agree with, but saw the wisdom as I got older.  He used to say, &quot;When in doubt, do noting.&quot;<p>There&#x27;s some usefulness to that comment.  Sometimes, procrastination can let the mind(including subconscious) figure out all consequences of an action.  In other words, &quot;Don&#x27;t do any thing hasty.&quot; sometimes is the best plan?  I know by procrastinating on certain legal&#x2F;business decisions, I saved a lot of money&#x2F;time.  The more I thought about the problem&#x2F;opportunity, the more I saw its flaws, and pitfalls of acting too quick.  (No I didn&#x27;t read the article, just the comments.  I find myself going right to the comments on some topics.  I wonder if other HN&#x27;s do the same?  I imagine  it must tick off the website who wrote the original article?)
