Just read this great article in
The New Yorker about procrastination. Much of the article made me think of
Hamlet, and his inability to make a decision about avenging his father's murder. Doesn't this quote from the article sound like the author must be talking about Hamlet: "Viewed this way, procrastination starts to look less like a question of mere ignorance than
like a complex mixture of weakness, ambition, and inner conflict."
Check it out if you're interested. Of course, I know nobody in our class has any idea what it's like to put something off... :)
Oh! And did you know that writer "Victor Hugo would write naked and tell his valet to hide his clothes so that he’d be unable to go outside when he was supposed to be writing." How great is that?!
That is funny /laughing out loud
