> procrastination is healthy and stops premature projects from getting copied and ruined.
I disagree. By definition, procrastination means delaying or avoiding actions you should be taking, which is inherently unhealthy. If you're not doing what you ought to, it's counterproductive.
Often, people confuse procrastination with:
- resting,
- relaxing while playing games,
- doing nothing,
- giving themselves time to cool of when they have a new idea.
These activities can be beneficial. For instance, after a stressful week, taking time to relax isn’t procrastination—it’s prioritizing mental health. Likewise, if your body needs sleep, getting rest is necessary, not a delay of important tasks. This is what you should be doing.
Even delaying action is sometimes exactly what we should be doing. If I have a billion-dollar idea that demands a significant investment of time, effort, or money, it's crucial to give myself space to think about the idea, and to cool off. That’s not procrastination—it’s a deliberate, thoughtful strategy.
