My comments were, hopefully, to give you insight to the
cause of your procrastination. Many procrastinators are
just lazy. But some are, (if I diagnose correctly)
like you: perfectionists whose subconsciouses are (wisely)
avoiding the OCD drive to re-re-re-dot the i's. A
phrase common at MIT (at least it was 30 years ago)
was "judicious punting." We often spend 10% of our time
doing 99% of the job and 90% of the time doing the last
1%. Usually, it's not worth it. The font just doesn't
matter.

It's funny you mention ODC... I'm CDO. (The letters are in the proper
order.)

Seriously, folks! I am OCD underneath a lot of my, shall we say,
imprecision.

NO! NO WAY!
