Why not to write reports

Paul Graham wrote up something most of us realize about procrastination. It can be both good and bad.

Most of my procrastination is bad. Going to "work," cooking, jogging, reading, blogging, chatting with friends, etc. Some of it I've convinced myself I almost cannot get around doing, like working for money. That seems like the central time-waster around which we organize the rest.

Within the bad, there is however at least one tiny hopeful gleam of good. I've given up sending email status reports. That sort of coincided with awareness of how much time I was wasting in email. It was an instinctive move, but now I have Paul to back me up.
