Procrasinatingly

Procrastination but ending in "ly." This means doing everything last minute is better than if you would do it on time.

She is Procrasinatingly perfect.

Precrastination

Opposite of procrastination: doing something as quickly as possible, far ahead of schedule

Precrastination: when a hyper-organized bunny hops into a task so far ahead of schedule that it finishes before the starting gun goes off… and then nervously double-checks the instructions for the next three hours

Bed of Procrustes Theory

The theory, named after the Greek myth of Procrustes who stretched or cut victims to fit his bed, that we systematically force complex reality into oversimplified categories, distorting what we see to fit our preconceptions. Bed of Procrustes Theory argues that our models, theories, and categories are Procrustean beds: we stretch and cut reality to make it fit, ignoring what doesn't conform, emphasizing what does. This is inevitable—we need categories to think—but dangerous when we forget we're doing it. The theory calls for vigilance, for attending to what our models exclude, for remembering that the map is not the territory. It's the epistemological foundation of humility, the reminder that reality is always richer than our representations.

Example: "His political theory neatly categorized everyone as left or right. But people are messy, complex, contradictory. The Bed of Procrustes Theory showed him what he was doing: stretching and cutting real people to fit his categories, ignoring what didn't fit. His theory was neat; reality was messy. He had to choose which to trust."
