Novelist Charles Dickens once said that procrastination is the thief of time. We should generally avoid procrastination (Proverbs 21:25). Sometimes, though, there’s a fine line between procrastination and preparation. Another way of looking at it is to consider whether there’s such a thing as productive or positive procrastination. For example, experts identify this as waiting to study for a test if waiting until the final hours will result in retention of the necessary information. That kind of waiting can also be productive if the student does something else before studying, like other homework. Consider your motives for procrastinating and discern whether any real benefit results from it.
