The article is written with great humility and self-effacing humour and is a confession of Robert's battle with a condition we all suffer from: a universally human problem of procrastination. That alone makes this writing magnanimous. There is so much humanity and compassion in Robert Hanks's appreciation of this aspect of his life - and ours. We all wish we could say that's cure enough though! Self-forgiveness & confessions aren't going to fix the problem of chronic procrastination ... but what they do is make us feel better. And that's always a start. Feeling better is Stage 1 of fixing any of our problems. Starting to fix the real thing, like making lists and ticking things off and doing Coveyian shit is always going to be Stage 2.
