Discover the power of putting things off: Insightful, sensible, and amusing (Harry G.Frankfurt, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of On Bullsh*t).This is not a book for Bill Gates or Steven Spielberg. Clearly they have no trouble getting stuff done. For the great majority of us, though, what a comfort it is to discover we're not wastrels and slackers, but doers... in our own way. It may sound counterintuitive, but according to philosopher John Perry, you can accomplish a lot by putting things off. He calls it structured procrastination.Celebrating a nearly universal character flaw, The Art of Procrastination is a wise, charming, compulsively readable book-really, a tongue-in-cheek argument of ideas. Perry offers ingenious strategies, like the defensive to-do list (1. Learn Chinese) and task triage. He discusses the double-edged relationship between the computer and procrastination-on the one hand, it allows the procrastinator to fire off work at the last possible minute; on the other, it's a dangerous time suck. Most importantly, he explores what may be procrastination's greatest gift: the chance to accomplish surprising, wonderful things by not sticking to a rigid schedule. John Perry is the wittiest philosopher since Marx (Groucho), and he brings to this book a delightful combination of wisdom and humor. -Thomas Cathcart, author of The Trolley ProblemReading this straight-talking, badly needed book has changed my life. -Bruce McCall, writer and illustrator for The New Yorker
