Delay is Good

Very often people are criticized for starting too late or procrastinating but a proper analysis states otherwise

Doing things 11^th hour improves adaptability, people don’t panic when faced with very tight deadlines.

While if Timely people are provided with 6 hours instead of 10 they start to feel the heat and if it reduces to 4 the sweat, and if it goes to 2 then …. u know :P

On the other side people who do the work in the last hour do not get bothered, rather they don’t even care if the deadline is 10, 6, and 4 or 2 hours as they are mentally prepared to get it done in last few moments only :)

The key tactic is counting back i.e. “if I need to finish something on 10^th and the work takes 2 days I’ll start not before 8”

There are 2 problems that are sure to crop up when you start the work early

1. you finish early – means you get more work instead of reward for efficiency

2. you try to do it thoroughly and get entangled

Both the problems are avoided when we do it the intelligent way :)

Moreover there is a potential benefit of getting the task done automatically (i.e. someone else gets fed up and does it): P

And another advantage is we get to know what kind of (unfinished, low quality, inaccurate) work is passable,

So that we do exactly how much is required rather than full work :)

Example Mithun Da executes this logic perfectly. He knows the fact he can kill the villain in 2 minutes AND the film is 3 hours long. SO he dances around trees, relax, romances and gets beaten too. But he kills the villain in last 2 minutes only.
