I think the authors of the article don't understand procrastination. Perhaps
they should have procrastinated longer before publishing.

Procrastinating about, say, mowing the lawn, is entirely different from
procrastinating about intellectual work. For me "procrastination" is often
about incubating. The urge to procrastinate is often a sign that more
mulling is needed. I am resistant to bad solutions.

&gt; Malte, thanks for passing this on to the list.  I'm puzzled <br>
&gt; though because the word &quot;resistance&quot; does not appear in the <br>
&gt; article.  To me procrastination as described in this article <br>
