This is more or less a copy of http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/03/procrastination-matrix.html. I recommend reading that instead.

He also did a funny TED talk on the topic. At just 14 minutes, it may be more manageable than a lengthy article.

And a great thing to put the next 14 minutes into if you're struggling for procrastination ideas. :)

Yes, I felt uncomfortable with how much this just re-used his article.

"How to hit your article deadlines: Copy another article and use it as your own."

Yes, they provide references, but it's still just a rehash.

It does copy a great deal of that, but there's also quite a bit of material from other sources, so I guess we'll leave the WaPo article up.
