Time + Creativity
summary
Claim: reframing procrastination as late binding can double or triple your time by using delays to prime the brain. Tools: planned procrastination, yak shaving, Don Norman’s late‑decision logic, Charlie Munger’s latticework, and the five‑whys. Numbers: everyone gets 86,400 seconds daily and the talk converts that into remaining days (example: ~14,273 left). Built: a tiny book and a gather.co prototype; the approach proves useful after a crisis (ambulance scare) to focus priorities and finish projects.
