		The observant reader may feel at this point that structured procrastination requires a certain amount of self-deception, since one is in effect constantly perpetrating a pyramid scheme on oneself.

		Procrastination is a complex psychological behavior that affects everyone to some degree or another.

	Podcast: Interview with GTD’s David Allen on Procrastination \| 43 Folders
		David makes a joke about this, but it is achingly true for me. I really just wonder if any of you have suggestions for this sort of inertia that hits when you have a task to do, no real others to speak of, and you simply put it off for no good reason.
		I was particularly struck–actually sort of overwhelmed–by David’s insight that the thing you procrastinate about the most is the thing that is closest to your soul and thus the thing which you are most frightened of.
		This one on procrastination is especially insightful — I often find that the thing I procrastinate the most on is the thing that is perched right on my learning edge.
