2.  I completed my Master's in Classical Archaeology from Oxford after many hours of gruelling hard work...but NOT without my fair share of procrastination. In order to get the weekly research essays done, I needed to put them off for a bit, watch a little tv, cook a gourmet procrastinator's meal, read the news, sketch, meet up with friends, or just stare into space. In the end after doing all of that, my brain had cleared out and my prime writing time of 5pm to 6am would be carried out seamlessly without any other interruptions or irrational thought of just one more episode. This article by Adam Grant covers why procrastination may actually be better for creativity and his struggle to then allow himself to procrastinate.
