Procrastination...  

The only things I procrastinate about is housework and going to the dentist other than I do what I say I will do but everyone around me seems to procrastinate about everything, they make so many promises and plans and just never follow through on anything, it makes me very angry.

I tend to be the same way. If there's something I really want to do I'll usually do it right away and then if there's stuff I dont' want to do as much I procrastinate. But then sometimes there's stuff I do really want to do but I still procrastinate on that... I don't know why. Can't think of a good example... but OH yeah ok. So I have this coffee table that after months of it being not complete I finally started to complete it..I mosaic'd the top of it. But now I need to paint it or stain it and I've totally procrastinated. It's been about a year. It's ridiculous.

I sometimes do have that problem myself. For instance, I don't procrastinate when it comes to walking/feeding Laika, the dog we "co-own" with a neighbor of ours, but I sometimes take too long to write a review or an article, even though I know that I will earn some money out of it. In fact, during the current first-review sweepstakes at Epinions, I had a chance of providing the first review of a new hard-cover book I bought at Amazon. I skimmed the first half of the book with every intention of writing the first review, but for some reason I held off. By the time I wrote and submitted my review, it was the SECOND review of the book.

I love to procrastinate. One of the biggest things that I try and push off is work. In fact, that is what I am doing right now. You would think that I would learn my lesson though, after craming to meet a deadline, but nope.

I also try and push off doing to the dentist and cleaning, like another poster mentioned.

Yes. I must confess I am a procastinator. I always think that I'll do things next day, but then ... I think the same. So things to do pile up till there is no more time left and I have to do them one way or another. My wife is also a little like me: we have been married for more than eleven years, and we haven't made yet our wedding album! :)

No. I like to finish up the most important stuff as soon as possible. My principles are:

1. Work now, then rest.
2. Achieve now, then celebrate.
3. Earn now, then spend.

If the task is really huge and overwhelming, I break it down by doing a little bit every day.

I was going to make up a list of things over which I procrastinate, but I never got around to thinking about what I procastinate about or getting the pen and paper to make the list.
I really have a problem with procrastinating. I even sought professional help and attended a Procrastinator's Anonymous Group. Only problem was... nobody got around to setting an agenda, securing a meeting place or picking a time to meet.
I have those little self-help magnets on my fridge: "Don't put off til tomorrow what you can put off til the day after tomorrow."
"Anything worth doing is worth doing later."
"There's no time like later on."
I'm OCD and I procrastinate -- that means I'm obsessed with doing nothing at all.
I was thinking about what important things I could say about procrastinating but I'll get...

I'm terrible about it but I have been trying to do better. I do my MyLotting first thing in the morning till Hubby gets up around noon. Then I go play EverQuest till around 2. I take a nap for a couple hours and then get up and fix dinner and watch a movie with Hubby. Then I play with my cross stitch charts till it's time to head to bed. This is just a typical day when I don't have anything else to do. Sometimes I skip EQ, my nap or the movie and do something else.
