The world is probably about evenly divided between delayers and do-it-nowers.There are those who prepare their income taxes in february,prepay mortgages and serve precisely planned dinners at an ungodly 6:30p.m.The other half dine happily on leftovers at 9 or 10 ,misplace bills and file for an extension of the income tax deadline.They seldom pay credit-card bills until tha apocalyptic voice of Diners threatens doom from Denver.They postpone,as Faustian encounters ,visits to barbershop,dentist or doctor.
Yet for all the trouble procratination may incur ,delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.Jean Kerr,author of many successful novels and plays,says that she reads erery soup-can and jam-jar label in her kitchen before setting dowm to her typewriter.Many a writer focuses on almost anything but his tasd -for example ,on the Coast and Geodetic Survey of Maine'S Frenchman Bay and Bar Harbor,stimulating his imagination with names like Googins Ledge,Blunts Pond,Hio Hill and Burnt Porcupine ,Long porcupine and Bald procupine islands .
