As I'm currently in the home stretch for my P.Eng exam and looking down the tube for the PMP sometime in the fall, thought I'd share a little piece I found on something I've found quite challenging: Procrastination

University for me was a lot of assignments (pretty sure it was 2nd semester in 2nd year that I had 7 due each week!) that were required to be handed in on regularly spaced intervals.

While there's no doubt that the ability to deal with this onslaught and maintain sanity (not to mention staying productive without much sleep) has proven useful in my post-university life, - there is no question that topics and formats I've encountered since, usually of a less technical nature, require a whole different set of muscles in order to study. I can count on one hand the number of times in my Engineering Physics education that i had a full-blown 'reading' assignment - i.e. read chapters 12 through 47 by tomorrow, bring a report. Every single formalized course I've taken since then, however, has had some component of "read, digest, recall-on-command".

Anyway, I guess I really should be studying.....
