Sometimes we pay attention to various issues related to management decisions or general approaches to IT management. One of the most acute problems is the effectiveness of the work of employees. Today we look at it from an unusual side.

This statement is quite sharply opposed to the modern concept of productive work. Many perceive everything that even remotely resembles procrastination as a bad habit or even a disease that requires the intervention of specialists.
Adam says that creativity is almost impossible without distractions. As an example, he cites his experience in writing scientific work. Objectively assessing the situation, he shares his memories of the fact that he was subject to the opposite form of procrastination.
By this, he means an irresistible desire to finish the work started without any interruptions, which only cause unnecessary irritation. Belief in the benefits of this approach is a delusion. This proved one of the disciples of Adam.
In the course of writing student work, it turned out that people prone to procrastination have increased creative abilities. This hypothesis was also proved in the framework of special testing, which included a short break for a computer game.
As a result, it was possible to conclude that procrastination helps to use non-standard options when thinking about certain decisions. Here, the authors cite as an example people like Jobs, Clinton and a number of other prominent personalities. All of them were known not only for their achievements, but also for their commitment to procrastination.
The most amazing thing begins when procrastination decides to do prekrastinator. This happened in this case, when the expert began to plan the time in order to prostrastinate harder. Adam even postponed his note as soon as he could.
This maneuver helped him correct a number of shortcomings and substantially supplement the material. All this means that a small break will not hurt any creative process, when a person can get distracted and return to work a little rest.
