In the 1973 May-June issue of OCEANS magazine, Fred Hoctor wrote an article titled Mazatlan: From freebooters to friendly hosts where the Sea of Cortez begins. In this article about a coastal town in Mexico, he compares Polynesian Paralysis to the Mexican experience of "manana".

Both experiences are the result of a relaxed lifestyle and healthy work-life balance which can cause things to progress slowly, but allows time to enjoy life and relax.
