Includes a selected bibliography.
Barnacles -- Madness to defer -- Saints, crows, poets, priests -- A brief history of the to-do list -- On the clock -- Seeds -- Therefore bind me -- Not yet.
An entertaining, fact-filled defense of the nearly universal tendency to procrastinate, drawing on the stories of history{u2019}s greatest delayers, and on the work of psychologists, philosophers, and behavioral economists to explain why we put off what we{u2019}re supposed to be doing and why we shouldn{u2019}t feel so bad about it.
