This is a New York Times opinion piece about procrastination, the human frailty of shirking responsibility, not focusing on objectives, priorities that require immediate attention. and the personal, social, repercussions of a cultural phenomena considered pathologic.

The cutesy title, "How To Stop Time" makes its point in a rather obtuse, indirect way, an approach that I find does not serve the subject well. A more direct title would have been preferred.

“Procrastination, quite frankly, is an epidemic,” declares Jeffery Combs, the author of “The Procrastination Cure,” just one in a vast industry of self-help books selling ways to crush the beast. The American Psychological Association estimates that 20 percent of American men and women are “chronic procrastinators.” Figures place the amount of money lost in the United States to procrastinating employees at trillions of dollars a year.

I never heard of this saint before.

Expeditus achieved salvation, and is worshiped as the patron saint of procrastinators.

Worshiped. Only God is to be worshiped.
