I think it's commonly assumed that people procrastinate because they are lazy. Even procrastinators will berate themselves for being undisciplined and lazy. But it's not that simple; I think there is value in being "lazy", or what is perceived as lazy.
- V-2 12y agoAs Larry Wall (creator of Perl) put it once, there are three great virtues of a programmer - laziness, impatience and hubris. Of course it doesn't have to be true only in case of programmers. Good laziness is when you strive to reduce your energy expenditure while still being determined to accomplish something.
