Things I still fail to understand...
There are at least several dozen which have been itching for air time. Noted a number of them (I found myself reflecting on late last evening) on an old scratch pad over a few cups of strong black Colombian Coffee earlier this morning. Gut tells me a long listing would overwhelm and prove counter productive. So, if you're game, let's take another closer look at them one or two at a time.
1) How is it that some seem to enjoy procrastinating, apparently unable to set correct priorities, and in the process living out their lives wasting precious days majoring on trivial pursuits and minor things?

I love the way you introduce it too, like you're some sort of deep philosopher solving the world's biggest mysteries and the only way is lesser people can follow your advanced lines of reasoning is to be spoon fed bit by bit.
Well here we are, GB is back and nothing's changed. Have a buiscuit.

Define some:-
source--Wiki.
"More specifically, a 1992 study showed that "52% of surveyed students indicated having a moderate to high need for help concerning procrastination".[12] It is estimated that 80%–95% of college students engage in procrastination, approximately 75% considering themselves procrastinators.[13]"
Also even if it was not as popular among the population at large you have come to the wrong place if you think it is a negative thing
I have no figures for the percentage of important ideas and inventions that reveal themselves to active procrastinators, but I imagine it would be quite high.

Did I read that right?
GB: There are a whole bunch of things that I don't understand that I'm going to tell you about.
The first thing is - I don't understand why people procraste!! I hate that!!
The rest - well ... I'll get round to that some other time ...
