About This Quote
The idea that you should spend less time thinking about what you are doing and more time getting things done has often been promoted by people who are successful in their fields, especially when they are trying to sell their services to other people. People might believe that if they spend less time thinking, they will be able to get more done. But that’s not necessarily true. They might end up wasting more time thinking about the things that they do not want to do.
If you don’t like something you can do, then it’s easier for you to tell yourself “I don’t like it, I don’t have to do it.” You can also work harder at justifying your decision. If you need a task to complete in order for a certain task to happen, then procrastination is going to be a problem.
