    Ep 4.1 Read aloud of 'Good and Bad Procrastination' by Paul Graham

    Good and Bad Procrastination is a fantastic essay by Paul Graham written in 2005. Long before Tim Urban's TED talk - Inside the mind of a master Procrastinator came out, this is one essay that spoke of how procrastination plays a huge role in one's life.   Contrary to the common wisdom of staying organized and keeping a tab on the To-Do list, the essay makes a case for forgetting 'small stuff' if you can put your brain to better use. Harping on the difference between creativity and productivity, the essay is a must-hear for everyone.  The essay reading is done by Minal Desai of Amara Ventures, an angel investment firm in India.
