Procrastination is a productivity tool

Procrastination is not always bad. When we focus in one way for too long we can become jaded and that can lead to poor decisions or outcomes. The solution is to diary your procrastination time and look forward to it! Procrastination is "the action of delaying or postponing something" - it is an action! With this action, you might get better ideas, revived enthusiasm for the task or perspective on the problem. For managers especially, thinking IS working and part of that process involves minding your thought process. Know that when you come back you will have given yourself the best possible chance to perform well.
