A Procrastination Handbook by The Procrastination Prodigies
As we've established, the key to true happiness lies in embracing our innate ability to put off tasks until the last minute.
We're not lazy; we're simply passionate about the art of doing nothing.
Here's a few more advanced techniques for taking this skill to the next level:
When you feel the urge to start a task, take a 5-second pause. Ask yourself, "Is this really worth doing?"
