On Procrastination

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

A few days ago I started reading David Allen's "How to Get Things Done." Excellent read, and strongly recommended.

Because of that bit of reading, I was dawdling about on the web this evening, looking for anything slightly related. I was reminded of a few famous quotations about the power of procrastination:

"Procrastination is the thief of time." - Edward Young

"Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy." - Wayne Gretzky

And many others.

I found a wallpaper with the former, but decided to make my own [very similar] one for my netbook (1024x600). I discovered Me And Hue Gallery Artists make some nifty clocks out of old bicycle gears and what not. The clock image comes from their catalog, so they take the credit for that component. I should buy one of those clocks - very funky.

Procrastination ... [sigh].
