I am definitely a procrastinator. I used to have a t-shirt that said if it weren't for the last minute I would never get anything done! most recenlty, I decided to wait until the last minute to purchase the items I would need to make a christmas dinner. I even waited until 4 o'clock to go to the store (they were closing at 6 pm on christmas eve). There wasn't a single turkey to be found. Not that I was particualrly upset about that. I still remember the turkey from thanksgiving, so I wasn't at all upset about having another turkey so soon. I ended up buying a pork roast instead...we had a great meal aside from my husband grumbling about the absence of turkey. So my fellow procrastinators.....do you have any stories to share?

Well, i hate to tell you that YES...I dove my mother up the wall when I lived with her. Only slightly less now that I am on my own. I am so glad she still loves me in spite of it all.

There's no question about it -- I am the queen of procrastination! I never seem to do anything when I should, and sometimes things get so far behind it's frightening. There are still a couple of unopened boxes in the garage from fifteen years ago, when I bought this house, and there's so much laundry to do that I'm tempted to throw it all away and start over. The only things I seem to do on time are my job and myLot!

Wow...now that I am not working I don't have ANYTHING that I do on time! How sad. But not sad enough to actually change!

Id say I am when it comes to homework or work period lol. Like whenever I have to clean my room it takes me weeks to clean it since im always playing videogames and that always distracts me from cleaning my room same with doing homework for school.

Oh...it sounds like you also suffer from the procrastinators other enemy Adult ADD. I am very easily distracted by shiny things, colorful commericals, shoes...just about anything that will help me put off those important things I am supposed to be doing!

This is a habit that I definitely need to change before the new year. I put off two assignments Tuesday and said that I would do them today. But here I sit at 3PM still typing on this computer. It gets dark up here in the mountains by 5PM and I don't know exactly where these two locations are so I don't want to be looking for them after dark. So now it will be tomorrow before I can go do them and you are not really supposed to go on the weekend but the report is due by Sunday. I hate it when I back myself in a corner like that.
So I think that this is definitely one of the top things I should put on my resolution list.

That's my last name. yep that's me. Been that in college and until now That's still me....with a little improvement.....or at least that's what I think....or tell myself to help me sleep better at night.
I'm trying hard to break the habit. Gotta get back to meditating so I can rid myself of this bad habit.
Nah. I'll do that later.

Hooray! People that understand! I will actually jump all over doing one thing so that istdistracts people from the fact that I have put off just about everything else!

Oh! Talk about procrastination. In fact I used to be one but now I have learned about the bad side of procrastination and I have also changed to be less of it. In fact everytime when I tend to procrastinate, I will asked myself again and remind myself not to do it. I would say that it just kills a person's future and dreams.
