This is not a book for Bill Gates. Or Hillary Clinton, or Steven Spielberg. Clearly they have no trouble getting stuff done. For the great majority of us, though, what a comfort to discover that we’re not wastrels and slackers, but doers . . . in our own way. It may sound counterintuitive, but according to philosopher John Perry, you can accomplish a lot by putting things off. He calls it “structured procrastination”:
In 1995, while not working on some project I should have been working on, I began to feel rotten about myself. But then I noticed something. On the whole, I had a reputation as a person who got a lot done and made a reasonable contribution. . . . A paradox. Rather than getting to work on my important projects, I began to think about this conundrum. I realized that
I was what I call a structured procrastinator: a person who gets a lot done by not doing other things.
Celebrating a nearly universal character flaw, The Art of Procrastination is a wise, charming, compulsively readable book—really, a tongue-in-cheek argument of ideas. Perry offers ingenious strategies, like the defensive to-do list (“1. Learn Chinese . . .”) and task triage. He discusses the double-edged relationship between the computer and procrastination—on the one hand, it allows the procrastinator to fire off a letter or paper at the last possible minute; on the other, it’s a dangerous time suck (Perry counters this by never surfing until he’s already hungry for lunch). Or what may be procrastination’s greatest gift: the chance to accomplish surprising, wonderful things by not sticking to a rigid schedule. For example, Perry wrote this book by avoiding the work he was supposed to be doing—grading papers and evaluating dissertation ideas. How lucky for us.

暑期任务的第一本书,终于搞定了。强迫症,拖延症,追求完美……不重要。更好地认识自己,不要逼自己,肆意享受生活。
评分超级治愈!If you want to stop procrastinating, it may be because you realize that procrastinating is making you unhappy. Perhaps you should go directly to the project of being happy and let procrastination take care of itself. If you want to know what happiness is, you need to go to the philosophers.
评分老爷爷好可爱,但是很多部分真的啰嗦,比如音乐那一个chapter。幸好短,不然也看不下去。可是通俗读物就是这样需要很多例子。我很喜欢这本书从一个新的角度看到拖延,拖延者也可以有蓝天,做一个structured procrastinator,虽然不去做最重要的事情但也可以做成很多事情。而且一般这种top priority一般看似重要、其实不重要,而且可以有一段时间。有可能消失,有可能别人帮你做了,包括to do list最好包括dos and donts.internet surfing is a rabbit hole :( 很喜欢书中说有些事为了做到完美而拖延后只是一般般,不如刚开始就别抱着希望做完美的东西,反正结局都一样。真是一头棒喝。

这本书比较早了,后来又在逻辑思维里听罗胖推荐过,再后来才决定看一看。 看之前已经知道大概内容了,这个老头儿的角度还是挺有意思也挺实在的,看看没有坏处。 老头儿说“不必追求完美”,只要“完成”或者“比完美差那么一点”就可以了。个人结合自己和身边人的例子,深以...
