True. I tend to get things done with less effort than my peers and I don't think it has to do with being smart. I just have an all round better understanding of the surrounding tools/ideas of a problem.

When a lot of people have a project in front of them, I see them jumping in with both feet with a very narrow focus. Afraid of going off in tangents.

Me? I spend most of my time sitting around drinking coffee. Walking. Reading useful stuff on the internet.

I've seen it written before: learn to procrastinate well. I think that's a better way of putting it, no real need to be too derogatory.
