I've been putting off laundry for about two.... years.

Got about 250 pairs of underwear.

Hey Bubba -

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

Go with flow.
 Maybe Yes...

"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination." -- Thomas de Quincey

I think procrastinating is a lot like masturbating. Sure it feels good while you are doing it, but what it boils down to, is that you are still screwing yourself.

That being said, I never put off until tomorrow, what I can get away with putting off far longer.

I read a book about pracrastination years ago (I keep meaning to take the advice I read). It explained several different reasons why people procrastinate, but the one that I related to the most was caused by perfectionism. Perfectionists often procrastinate because they don't want to do something unless they are able to do it PERFECTLY. Trying not to sweat the small stuff is MY biggest challenge.

When I find out the answer I'll let you know. I'm in no hurry, just to let you know.

That explains it!

Now I have a legitimate reason and excuse.

Thanks for the quote that will enable me for 2008!


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !

Procrastinating is for perfectionists who chafe at authority and practice passive aggression. That's my excuse anyway.
