Rituals of the Ancients: Procrastination as a Philosophy

Procrastination, the revered art of doing nothing, was a cornerstone of ancient wisdom. Our ancestors knew that the key to a life of leisure and contemplation lay in the subtle art of putting off tasks until the very last minute.

And so, we shall delve into the sacred texts of Procrastination, a philosophy that has guided us for generations.

The Tenets of Procrastination

• Thou shalt not start on tasks until the deadline is nigh
• Thou shalt not be swayed by the sirens of productivity
• Thou shalt not be tempted by the promise of a 'quick' solution
• Thou shalt not be fooled by the false promise of a 'to-do' list

For it is said that the Ancients would often remark, "A task left undone is a task not yet begun, but a task begun is a task not yet finished." A wise saying indeed.
