There are some cases where you will want to purposefully delay a task because you know that once you complete the task, then follow up work from that task will occur which will require a certain amount of work in response. For example, there is one colleague who I know will ask me for additional work once I contact him. So I ensure that I contact him when I have a window to perform the additional work. A strategically procrastinate in my response so that I will have free time right after I contact him, just in case additional work is forthcoming. If the work doesn’t come, then all the better.    support the show: https://anchor.fm/60usefulseconds/support
