As workers, are there benefits to procrastination? Can something good come from putting things off?

There is a certain personality type that WAITS for inspiration to strike and THRIVES under pressure! Are you one?

I am definitely with you in this regard Yoni but in my house this was just called lazy. Which is what I apparantly am.

I don't think I would overstate the benefits of procrastination but certainly the last minute school and college work and thriving under pressure were great preparation for consulting work. Needing to produce your best work in the next day (or few hours) is certainly commonplace in business and being able to deliver in those situations is pretty priceless.

There is perhaps a danger that one begins to thrive on the pressure and actually cause more and more last minute situations until it all falls down?

Alastair,

Yes we strategic procrasintaors are misundertood creatures; often mislabeled as lazy. I suppose the system is always in danger of collapse, but as long as deadlines are met, it is the thrill an adrenalyne which fuel the madness!

Susan,

I am a great procrastinator, though I always seem to put off procrasinating until a later date :)
