While I felt like the article was really long, there was a lot of information included and evidence that made me understand the different ways of procrastinating. Something that I liked about the article is that the author included a lot of real world examples of procrastination. One of those examples is people not signing their taxes on time. In the article it says, “Each year, Americans waste hundreds of millions of dollars because they don’t file their taxes on time.” This is a very real example because many people do procrastinate on filling out their taxes, wether it’s because of procrastination or something else. Another part of the text I liked and felt like I could relate to, was when the author brought up how ignorance  might affect procrastination through the planning fallacy which is what social scientist Jon Elster calls it. In the article James says, “When I was writing this piece, I had to take my car into the shop, I had to take two unanticipated trips, a family member fell ill, and so on. Each of these events was, strictly speaking, unexpected, and each took time away from my work. But they were really just the kinds of problems you predictably have to deal with in everyday life. Pretending I wouldn’t have any interruptions to my work was a typical illustration of the planning fallacy.” I relate to this because  if I were to make plans to do my homework later on in the night, I wouldn’t  really think that something could interrupt my plans to do my homework, I just blindly trust that everything  will go according to my plan and that I will be able to complete it. But if something were to happen and my plans become delayed, it would lead me to procrastinate even more because now I had excuses as to why I couldn’t complete my homework. His examples and evidence were great which made me understand the points he was trying to make.
