Another Good Read About Procrastination

A few days ago, I read this article: How to Beat Procrastination. I can recommend it for everyone who is interested in psychology and wants to know more about the mental mechanisms that are involved in procrastination, based on scientific research. As an extra, this article ends with advice about how you can counteract your own inclinations towards procrastination.

On my wish-list is the book The Thief of Time (also from the University of Oxford) and I have been postponing (sic!) ordering this book, because I hoped that there would be a Kindle issue available for it, but alas, there hasn’t been. I will order the paper copy then. (See also this post on Tonsoftime.)

The article on Lesswrong is largely based on the psychological book The Procrastination Equation by Pierce Steel.

I think I will read more on Lesswrong, I have discovered the site just last week.
