Study casts doubts on the concept of 'active' procrastination (solvingprocrastination.com)

I prefer the term incubation.

But a study of students may not directly relate to the general population. Coursework is very specific and intended to be rigorous to finish within a semester.

I cant count the number of non-school projects that have pivoted where I’ve benefited from incubating or wished I’d incubated more - frustrating to throw away work.

It’s why incubating is better. Solve the easy, generic problems first on a schedule and leave the hard parts for last. Tends to help clarity and focus.
