How to Be a Productive Procrastinator was the topic at hand on Talk of the Nation on June 12, 2008. Rationalizing our dawdling, Neal Conan lead a discussion about the latest on procrastination from Timothy Pychyl, blogger of Don’t Delay on Psychology Today and professor of psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, and John Perry, self-professed structured procrastinator, co-host of the Philosophy Talk podcast, and professor of philosophy at Stanford University. Two of my personal favorite procrastinators are Douglas Adams and Mark Twain.

Happiness is the product of the pursuit of your goals. Is procrastination a negative or positive force in your life?

“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.” -Mark Twain
