Stop procrastinating website: Preparation and Its Stop Condition.

Nothing in any of those abstracts says when the preparing stopped, or what stopped it. They report whether a plan existed and what happened next. Whether the person who wrote it had ever decided in advance what would finish the job is not something I can see in any of them.

From chapter 5: Preparation and its stop condition

And here is what happened when I sat down to write this chapter. I couldn't finish the sentence. I tried to write what would have to be delivered, and by which person, for that script to be done, and there is nothing to put in either blank. There is no event. There's no morning on which it's finished, and there was never going to be one.
