I used to procrastinate on Quora and now I do it on HN. It has done wonders for my writing, my awareness, and my education. As a side effect, I now have far better plans for the projects on my todo list that I haven&#x27;t been able to do because of all this procrastinating. But if it&#x27;s making me smarter, I have just justified further not being able to help myself not be able to help myself.<p>For those who procrastinate at the gym enjoy the side effects of being fit and healthy. It&#x27;s when it&#x27;s work that we start experiencing sacrifice. There is only joy in procrastination. The author of this essay procrastinates by writing brilliants essays.<p>I did read somewhere that efficient workers sleep a lot and work a lot less. Those who have experience being their most efficient selves work towards that state of mind by sleeping and being lazy. And when they work, they get shit done. At the end of the day, it may very well be a tortoise vs hare race, where those that keep working slowly but surely catch the hares that only work sporadically. But for the same amount of work, the hare gets a life.
