When you write a to-do list, two things can happen: You either do the things on the list, or you find things that are more fun to do and do those instead.

But if it’s taking his focus away from what he should be doing, is it procrastinating? “I’m being lazy right now, and instead of doing what needs doing, I’m creating. I’m not even creating something that’s due this week. I’m making something that’s due never, that might or might not be part of a better project,” Brogan admits  (opens in a new tab).
