Merlin Mann | Jun 12 2008
How to Be a Productive Procrastinator : NPR (Talk of the Nation) The Talk of the Nation that’s on right now (available for streaming later) is on the topic of procrastination.
If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll remember John Perry for his excellent piece on “Structured Procrastination.” Great stuff. 3 Comments

Thanks Merlin. I’m looking forward to catching this later. Timothy Pychyl has a great podcast on the subject, called “iProcrastinate.” I especially like his emphasis on existentialism and procrastination, what he calls “procrastinating on living.” Sadly (and somewhat ironically), he always takes a long time between updates. »
