procrastination is healthy and stops premature projects from getting copied and ruined. as long as you finish, procrastination will improve quality and impact, value and added value. nobody who is working on something procrastinates ad infinitum. it ONLY depends on HOW you procrastinate. this is true for the arts as well as in any industry except when urgent. if big companies would have procrastinated instead of their ridiculous release cycles, we would have stretched out time till the tipping point, sparked more industries and improved quality everywhere. |

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.
