It’s possibly the most dangerous of all threats to anyone who works alone
in a self-motivated, self-controlled situation; the danger of procrastination.
Regular readers will know I’ve visited this topic before: here are the links to
those posts; 8
March 2012 (The Dangers of Distraction) , 7
June 2012 ( Procrastination is the Thief of Time) , 25
Nov 2012 (Do You Work Best in Chaos or Control?) So, why the 4th visit in a single
year? Well, if you take the time to visit the side panel to the right and
scroll a good way down (you’ll need to dive below the ‘Popular Posts’ piece),
you’ll discover a table I was sent by www.onlineclasses.org
in response to my previous posts. The table, headed ‘Procrastination Nation’, features some
interesting and salutary stats on the way we waste out time. If you click on
the table, a new window will open in which you can read the short piece from
Online Classes and view the table at full size. I think it’s a worthwhile way
to spend a few minutes, and I recommend it, especially if you’re prone to
distractions. And, no, the irony is not lost on me!
Read, absorb, enjoy and take note.
