How to Waste Time and Become Unproductive
A Quick Guide
Eric Rassin published a paper in 2007 that described indecisiveness as a widespread phenomenon. Indecisiveness is described as taking a prolonged time to make decisions, regretting decisions, delaying decisive making, changing one’s mind frequently.
Sound familiar?
I don’t know about you but I have a tendency to overthink things which leads to a severe case of indecisiveness. It’s something I’m working on.

It comes before the to-do list is written and it sometimes wades its way in afterwards too. Before writing this article for example I was contemplating doing the wallpapering, getting a coffee, writing a different article for a friend and/or mowing the lawn.
I got up and made a coffee, started the article, looked at the wall to wallpaper and decided not to mow the lawn as it is currently 7:40 am and the neighbours might not be incredibly happy about that.
