Yep, I am a dreadful procrastinator.... and, to add to my sins, I am also a hopeless prioritiser, lol... so the silly things get done first, and the others when I get round to it, lol

Then add a dreadful memory to the list.... and wow!! Not a lot gets done...

I am a bit like Amanda with the windows, mind... why do it if no-one notices the change? Only thing is, I haven't the stamina to finish the big upheavals I cause these days, so we live in a constant state of chaos, lolol!!

Love

Daff xxxxxxx

If I tell you that I once borrowed a book from the library about procrastination and renewed it twice before returning it unread, would that answer the question?

I am the world's worst, never used to be like that but over the years it has become a very bad habit.

Who-ever said that the Latin derivation of pro-cras-tinate was "for tomorrow" is right. And, by that measure, I don't procrastinate.

I work on the basis of "why do today what you could do three weeks come Tuesday" - and if no-one's noticed by then that you haven't got round to it....... well, it wasn't so important in the first place.

(which, I might say, supports Amanda's window theory)

No . I make every effort not to procrastinate.........except in the area of keeping windows clean . I have found that if you clean your windows on a regular basis then no one notices.......I much prefer letting them get well and truly disgraceful......then I clean them and every one , even the children , comment..........lol

I suppose I do procrastinate. On the other hand, I like to get things done and have them out of the way - so I guess that means that I would be happy if someone else would do them for me - then I wouldn't have to procrastinate!

Am I making sense - or circles?

AnnCardiff Report 14 Dec 2009 22:07

procrastination is the thief of time - now that is profound!!!!

I work on the "put off today what you could do tomorrow because when tomorrow comes you may not have to do it at all" it was my Dad's philosophy and it worked for him

You will never know about which day it comes,
But you're watching for it, anyway.
And I wonder if you really know somehow,
I'm just buying your Christmas card today.

Procrastination, Procrastination
Is making me late.
It's keeping you waiting.

Should I tell you how sorry I feel at this moment.
Maybe I should wait 'til around three.
But I rehearsed excuses late last week,
Now I am thinking maybe I could tell you Friday.

Procrastination, Procrastination
Makes me hesitate.
You're anticipating.

But then, perhaps you'll think I'm apathetic.
Don't care 'bout it, 'cause I'm just not that way.
I'll come by to give you your Christmas card now.
Just stay right there, 'cause I'll be a couple days.

I'll be a couple days.
I'll be a couple days.
Your card is on its way.
Maybe sometime in May.

Well, I wouldn't say that I was a procrastinator........but I do believe in living my life by the saying:
