Intending to do more than there is personal time, energy, and attention to do---is not a sign of any personal quality worthy of respect or support. It is better to intend to do less and to really do it, than to intend to do much---and not get around to doing as much. One cure for procrastination is thoughtful budgeting of personal time and energy, and then carrying through on a commitment to stick prudently to the time budget. Intending to be more faithful in carrying out one's intentions in the absence of a prudent budget---is sure to lead to more procrastination. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
