Procrastinate On Purpose

03 Aug 2025

Description

This book, Procrastinate on Purpose, introduces a revolutionary approach to time management, challenging conventional wisdom that often leads to stress and burnout. The author, a co-founder of Southwestern Consulting, emphasizes shifting from two-dimensional thinking (urgency and importance) to three-dimensional thinking by incorporating Significance—how long something will matter. This paradigm encourages individuals to prioritize actions that multiply their time in the future, akin to the power of compounding interest in finance. The text outlines five key "permissions" for becoming a "Multiplier": to Eliminate unnecessary tasks, Automate repetitive processes, Delegate responsibilities, Procrastinate on Purpose (exercising patience by waiting for the right timing), and Concentrate on the next most significant action. Ultimately, the book asserts that true productivity isn't about being busy, but about making intentional choices that free up time and energy for what truly matters, both professionally and personally.
