Продолжаю слушать John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme и радоваться. Всем кто этим замечательным пятничным днем сидит на работе, предлагаю порадоваться вместе со мной.

Текст:

I’ve got a big project

But I am not scared

I’ve got lots and lots of time

I am calm and prepared

I’ll start nice and early

I’ll steadily climb

Onwards step by step by step

And do it a bit at a time

Sooooooooo

I’ll start of tomorrow or maybe the following day or the day after that

No wait that’s a Sunday but definitely Monday,

as soon as I’ve finished deworming the cat

I’ll just clear my inbox and pair up my gym socks

and start by the end of the week

Once I’ve done all the cleaning and painted the ceiling

and taught myself Russian, Swahili and Greek

But I resent the implication this is mere procrastination

It’s essential preparation well-worth getting right

I am not procrastinating, I am simply wisely waiting

In case some magic pixies come and do it in the night

Soooooooooooooooooooo

It’s time to begin it, but hang on a minute, the deadline’s still one week away

I’ll just do some filing and grout all the tiling and

how did that happen I’ve just got one day

I’ll start bang on seven or nine or eleven or lunch or at least before bed

Oh fine well alright then I’ll stay up all night

do it all in ten hours while half off my head

But I resent the implication it was mere procrastination

The project underwent gestation sitting on the shelf

I was not procrastinating, I was simply wisely waiting

In case the project came to life and somehow did itself .

Если вы по какой-либо причине все еще не знаете что такое прокрастинация, настоятельно рекомендую ознакомиться с лекцией Тима Урбана: https://youtu.be/arj7oStGLkU Очень подробно и доходчиво разобраны причины возникновения и механизмы действия прокрастинации. Лекция снабжена обильным иллюстративным материалом, включая визуальное сравнение мозга обычного человека и прокрастинатора.
