Procrastination talk: outline & references
January 26, 2015
Thank you so much, those of you who got up on a cold morning and came to see me talk about procrastination at the Georgia Romance Writers meeting! As promised, here are the links to the articles and books I used for the talk:
Atlantic article: Why Writers Are the Worst Procrastinators: The psychological origins of waiting to work by Megan McCardle 2/12/2014
New York Times article: This Was Supposed to Be My Column for New Year’s Day by Michael Tierney 1/14/2013
Psychology today articles: Get Unbored by Tania Luna, 4/10/2014 (has a couple of strategies I didn’t mention)
What Is Boredom? by Art Markman, Ph.D., 9/25/2012
Wall Street Journal article: To Stop Procrastinating, Look to the Science of Mood Repair by Sue Shellenbarger 1/7/2014
To those who care about such things, I apologize for these references not being in proper reference format. Putting things in reference format holds no elements of interest for me. If you’ve forgotten what I’m referring to, check out Letitia Sweitzer’s book:
If you’d like to try out structured procrastination, the web site with the original essay is here, and the link to buy the book is here.
