![[Weekend Watch List] Procrastinare, productivitate, perfectionism si rolul omului pe pamant](https://media.iqads.ro/2018/07/collage9-3-cover-850.jpg)
Suntem utili?, ne gandim uneori. Si ce inseamna asta, de fapt? In mod obisnuit, lasam intrebarile astea pe seama filosofilor. Dar, uite, vine weekendul si prindem cateva secunde si pentru lasatul gandurilor sa se innoade. Nu va simtiti vinovati daca folositi zilele astea doua pentru a nu face nimic. Va spune asta un maestru al procrastinarii. Si daca va simtiti, totusi, exista un antidot mai jos. Avem cateva chestii si in partea cealalta: despre stiinta productivitatii si problema cu perfectionismul.
Am bifat utilul. Sa pastram loc si pentru gratuitati micute. Limbile pe care le vorbesc ceilalti, manierismele reporterilor, istoria documentarului TV si teatrul mecanic din secolul 18.
