on procrastination

When implementing procrastination measures, there are several noteworthy benefits that may boost one's persistance to finish the job under the added pressures of last minute cramation:

Procrastination, if implmented correctly, ensures the same task or project will be completed in less time. Often, the quality of the completed task is of a comparable or higher quality than otherwise would have been acheived because of heightened levels of focus on the part of contributors and project boundries necessitated by K.I.S.S. methods.

Example:
I was asked by wifeOfJames to take out the trash this week. I naturally rebelled at such a request, but come the familiar squeak and grind of the trash truck one morning, it would have behooved me to ignore the mounting pile of refuse. In a mad burst of focus and athleticism, I gathered all household baskets, emptied and sorted the waste, and ran both recycling and refuse containers to the curb, all in about 90 seconds. This same task, if performed "responsibly" might have taken up to 10 minutes depending on the current coffee situation and time of day. Quod Erat Faciendum.
