Talk:Procrastination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I keep on meaning to add something to this page, ....I'll do it later.
The "Procrastination, How to Stop Procrastinating" link to the internet archive appears to have become broken... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.12.138 (talk) 17:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Addiction angle
There is a different angle to the reasons behind procrastination. The theory is, and this is the reason for my procrastination - I feel, is that procrastination is an addiction to the high one gets from succeeding at the last minute as a result of the procrastination. This (very long) blog post [1] discusses this in great detail.
I've never bought into the "fear of success, failure, or aversion to authority" theory. The person who came up with it probably wasn't a procrastinator.
Further, this really ties in well with the ADD/ADHD angle. People with Attention Deficit Disorder usually have 3 traits that are relevant here.
The angle that procrastination is an addiction to the high just works, and it also is the only explanation that has struck a cord with me. For the record, I am procrastinating right now. I'm supposed to be working on a report for work. --Championtim (talk) 17:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Remove link: getting things done, GTD
That article is a false hope, and reads like a slide-show-printout.
How to get things done, as a comprehensive advice 'self-help' section may gather therapeutic information and then if necessary, divert to new age cults, corporatism and consumerism -see "gtd's" edit-. 67.86.58.205 (talk) 12:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)wikici

The number of missing citations in this article is hilarious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.196.147.123 (talk) 06:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
