procrastination/put off

[jayan12]

Procrastination isn't the problem, it's the solution. So procrastinate now, don't put it off.
- Ellen DeGeneres"

I came across this adage today. What is the difference between procrastinate and put off ?

Hi jayan12

As an NES, but not a teacher:

What it means is "Don't put off (i.e. delay) procrastinating (i.e. putting it off) - i.e Don't put off putting it off!

It's like an "oxymoron".
