A friend of mine died a few years ago. He was no success by society's standards, but a success in my eyes. He had a saying that at first I didn't agree with, but saw the wisdom as I got older. He used to say, "When in doubt, do noting."
There's some usefulness to that comment. Sometimes, procrastination can let the mind(including subconscious) figure out all consequences of an action. In other words, "Don't do any thing hasty." sometimes is the best plan? I know by procrastinating on certain legal/business decisions, I saved a lot of money/time. The more I thought about the problem/opportunity, the more I saw its flaws, and pitfalls of acting too quick. (No I didn't read the article, just the comments. I find myself going right to the comments on some topics. I wonder if other HN's do the same? I imagine it must tick off the website who wrote the original article?)
