Decide

Deciding now frees up your most valuable asset, time, so you can go work on something else. What happens if, starting today, you make every decision as soon as you have a reasonable amount of data? — Seth Godin

Invented obstacles

 
Interesting thing, Procrastination. It is the twin to Productivity — um, without the accomplishment.
It is merely activity and the appearance of accomplishment, with no tangible rewards. Just the self-loathing that follows when we dance with Procrastination; when we realize how much time we spent — never to have back! — in our pursuit of Productivity.

Anyone got the time?

In our busyness, we deceive ourselves into believing that we have no time for the activities we enjoy, the goals we dream about — for creativity, for rest … for just plain fun!
