America Wants You to Feel Ashamed About Procrastinating. Don't. | The New Republic
"Puritan theology…considered procrastination a sin. Jonathan Edwards preached in the early 1700s that those who delay doing good works 'flatter themselves that they shall see another day, and then another, and trust to that, until finally most of them are swallowed up in hell, to lament their folly to all eternity, in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.' Think about that the next time your gutters need cleaning."
