"Procrastination is not a problem of time management; time-management skills won't cure it."

taken from the article: http://www.psychologytoday.com/rss/pto-20060324-000001.html

the above quote doesn't bode well for all the procrastinators on this forum - especially with all the time management programs being tried out.

we're all doooooooooomed.

No comment.

Part of the solution:
And follow the 10-minute rule. Acknowledge, "I don't feel like doing that," but do it for 10 minutes anyway. That gets you over the hard work of initiation.

Your quote here was a good example of what happens when you leave out the important part: :D

Procrastination is not a problem of time management; time-management skills won't cure it. But procrastinators do underestimate how long it takes to complete tasks. So cut yourself some slack and build in to your schedule 20 extra minutes between tasks. You'll get more done; you'll like yourself better—and so will everyone around you.
