In her essay, “You Too Can Procrastinate”, Emily suggests that, if done properly, procrastination is not always a detrimental occurrence. The author lists the following steps in her postponement ritual: Do anything to keep from sitting down to write; call a friend and talk to them for 15 to 20 minutes about anything other than the paper in order to build the necessary tension; prepare to write by gathering essential tools and snack and placing them at the workstation; collect ideas related to the topic at hand; finally, sit down and write the paper. The author offers that, if these six steps are followed, “you too can become a master procrastinator.”
As a procrastinator myself, it is quite difficult not to agree with Emily’s point of view.
