Why Do We Procrastinate? from The Takeaway: Early Edition by feedback@thetakeaway.org (Public Radio International and WNYC Radio)

Is procrastination such a bad thing? Don’t some of us actually work better under pressure Chrisoula Andreou and Mark White don’t think so. They’re the co-editors of a new book called “The Thief of Time: Philosophical Essays on Procrastination.” They explain why we procrastinate, and whether it’s actually good for anything.
