Call it sloth or call it ‘millennial syndrome’, this problem of sorting out priorities and doing the best thing at the best time has been around for a while, and Dr Matthew Tan has been tracking it through history from the Desert Fathers’ reflections in the 3rd century AD up to the current-day frazzled uni student.
