Here is an excerpt from a letter my late brother sent to my uncle: “Have you heard from Piers about his research? He has forged himself into an expert on procrastination, publishing numerous articles on the subject and being interviewed on national radio and in the press. I get a chuckle, as Piers was the worst procrastinator during his high school and college years.” 2 Even the philosophers have been fascinated by procrastination, able to sit and watch it for hours: Andreou, C. (2007). Understanding procrastination. Journal for the Theory of Social Behavior, 37(2), 183–193. Gosling, J. (1990). Weakness of the will. New York: Routledge. Silver, M. (1974). Procrastination. Centerpoint, 1(1), 49–54. Sorensen, R. (2006). Originless sin: Rational dilemmas for satisficers. The Philosophical Quarterly, 56(223), 213–223. 3 Katz, I., de Deyn, P., Mintzer, J., Greenspan, A., Zhu, Y., & Brodaty, H. (2007). The efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of psychosis of Alzheimer’s disease and mixed dementia: A meta-analysis of 4 placebo-controlled clinical trials.
