Plan your day with an eye to your tendency to procrastinate, and put in safeguards to keep it to a minimum.

Taking a long time to do something not worth doing, that is, doing it inefficiently, seems even more useless.

I was surprised by how many people think of themselves as procrastinators, but, like me, seem to get a lot done anyway.

The essence is that many procrastinators are "structured procrastinators," people who, like me, get a lot done as a way of not working on what they should ideally be working on.

You may lack will power, but that doesn't mean you can't take a lot of steps to make yourself more productive.

Nothing focuses attention like a real deadline. If you are in a field where life and death, or having a job or not having a job, depends on not missing deadlines, you need to learn to manipulate yourself to meet them; often a good way of doing this is teaming up with non-procrastinators.
