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)

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.

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
