Procrastinators of the world unite -- tomorrow

[Clever username]

Or time-wasting or just plain being lazy, whatever you want to call it. Has anyone ever beaten or overcome it? I've been a procrastinator for as long as I can remember, always hoping one day I'd mature and it would go away. It hasn't. I need the pressure of deadlines, real or perceived, to feel the motivation to do anything. In the end, though, I wind up wasting a lot of time. Suggestions?

I create artificial deadlines. "By X o'clock, I need to be done with this, this and this. And by Y o'clock, that, that and that. Otherwise, I'm trying to do this and that at the same time, right up against the deadline.

Let's do it next week.

I think that's a little soon...don't put pressure on me!

Poor spellers of the world, untie!

I need time to get ready. How about in September?

 

[John]

Why don't we ...

 

[Breakyoself]

let's set up a meeting sometime in the future to discuss how we would like to proceed.

If we're going to do this, I'm going to need a deadline.

I don't feel like helping you out. Can't someone else do this?

... sorry, I got distracted during my last post.

Anyone know how to make a bong out of a ukulele?

 

[John]

Hurry up? Dude, you need to pace yourself.

Wife and kid are out of town tonight. I'm in heaven.

I'm watching Letters from Iwo Jima. I'm enjoying it infinitely more than Flags of Our Fathers.

How's the new gig and crib?

 

[Chi City 81]

Good and good. Town's great, lots of stuff to do. And I'm not nervous about the wedding, which is 11 days away. Anything else?

The old stubs from bills that I've paid -- how long should I keep them?

11 ****ing days. Wow. You'll be surprised at how quickly she becomes the boss. Also, I had a girl tell me the other day that she's planning to stop giving her fiance oral pleasure once they tie the knot ... but I'm sure that won't happen with you guys. ;D

Why would you keep 'em?
