One of the things I'm really good at is procrastinating.

I can procrastinate a little bit.

I swing between procrastination and being really thorough so either way things aren't getting done quickly.

I'm so good at procrastinating.

Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder.

There's nothing wrong with procrastination. Or is there? I'll leave it to you to decide, but only if you have the time.

If I can do something in less than one minute, I don't let myself procrastinate. I hang up my coat, put newspapers in the recycling, scan and toss a letter. Ever since I wrote about this rule in 'The Happiness Project,' I've been amazed by how many people have told me that it has made a huge difference in their lives.

Procrastination doesn't work for everything. For instance, waiting to buy plane tickets at the last minute will typically end up costing you more.

Take care of difficult calls or emails as quickly as possible. Procrastinating just makes it harder; getting them done gives a big boost of relieved energy.

The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with.
