This article seems stupid to me.
He seems to be saying procrastination is caused by a fixation on the weekend but he goes on to say that can't be fixed (Under "An Alternative to the Week?"). Then he lists ways to fix the thing he just admitted couldn't be fixed.
The list gives suggestions that are either not related to his point (what does reflecting on each day have to do with loving the weekend?) or are just flat out stupid (You should go out drinking on a Tuesday and come in Wednesday with a hang over just to avoid drinking on Friday?).
I'm all for fighting procrastination but I don't think finding ways to not look forward to the weekend has anything to do with that.
- Legion 16y agoI find blog posts like this annoying. Someone takes a common phrase, reads it as if every word is meant in the most literal way possible, then takes pot-shots at it. I enjoy my work a lot, but after 5 days of it, I look forward to two days where the hours of 8-5 can be spent with my family. Thank God it's Friday.
