Do you put things off?

I am a selective procrastinator. That means, I can put ff till eternity when I van afford to and when I have a deadline I would finish stuffs right then! How are you doing with in new job?

I put things off all the time, most of the time I put it off till its almost too late..lol. I'm bad at procrastinating, wish I could change the way I do things...lol.

I used to procrastinate on a lot of things and found that it can be controlled by a little discipline. I know have a rule, that if something is important, I will write it in my diary when I am going to do it. If it is written down in my diary then my rules state that it has to be done - no questions asked. It works for me and life becomes a lot easier. :-)Derek

Yup, i did put things off whenever i dun feel like doing it.. hehe ^_^ But most of the time, i will still do it, and it's always till the day b4 i really need those things to be done, only then i will do it.. lol =D Same like u, my passport needs a renewal last year.. ANd yet i only did it 2 weeks b4 my overseas trip, when i actually have got alot of time beforehand.. lol =D Thus in the end, i only managed to collect my passport on the day i'm supposed to fly.. lol =D

I put of cleaning the bathroom every weekend. Speaking of Passport I needed to renew mine 4 years ago. I have all the paper work I just need pictures but I keep putting it of.

I definitely put things off. I need to go to the dentist for my yearly checkup and I've been putting of making the appointment for three months now. I hope I don't put it off until next year, lol. I hate making doctors appointments and always put them off, I put off going to the gynecologist for years. I also have to get my eyes checked and I've been putting that off too. I am a very big procratinator and I've also been putting off all the reviews I want to write for Reviewstream and Comparedbyus. I could make a few extra bucks wiht all the movies I've seen but I keep putting it off. So yes, I am terrible with that. I think a lot of people are.

I do put off things like you. One thing I postponed is my phone repair and other is washing the cholthes. I had been long planing for phone servicing and it never happened. Hope I will do this week.

I have been doing that a bit in the past.But no more.I have learnt not to procrastinate things.It brings irreparable loss to our life.So I tend to finish off the things then and there to be relieved and happy. "Spread a smile"

hi monkeyrose,yes i always put things off..hope to change this year

hi monkeyrose,yes i do put things off all the time hope i can change this yearhave a nice day

I also tend to put things off, otherwise I would not have anything to do for tomorrow

I don't know if I put things off I tend to forget things.I have to rush around and put things right.

My biggest thing that i have put it off for indefinite period is my wedding...don't know when will the day come...:(

Yeah, I find myself starting things early, getting tired and thinking I'll finish it later. Then, I have to rush and finish it.

Because I know that I am a procrastinator by nature, I try to get whatever I have to get done as quickly as possible. It doesn't work out all the time but most of the time and I am pleased with myself. But I do prioritize, what is more important gets done first etc.

A little bit of procrastination never hurt anyone - unless you are still procrastinating after 5 or 10 years. On the other hand if you can procrastinate for long enuogh then the situation will change enough that you do mnot have to make a decision at all. So sometimes there can be benefits in waiting for some time to pass before making a decision. Also if you put off makng a decision and the situation changes, then you have done the right thing by waiting to make your decision. Okay so in your case Monkeyrose, you will need to renew your passport because you are hoping to be able to travel now that you have your new job and a good increase in your earnings. So that is something that you really should be looking at doing in the next few months. If you are planning to travel during your holidays from work, it will no doubt be a year before you can do that, so you will have some time up your sleeve before it is essential to renew your passport. If however you are planing to save like mad for so many months until you save enough money to travel, it needs to be done sooner. What I am saying is that if you do not plan to stay at the job but rather spend what you can save to do extensive travel, then your passport will need to be renewed sooner. Seriously now. It is not too often that I put things off though, and that is mostly because of my time schedule. Today we did some weeding in the vegetable areas and although it could have been done tomorrow, we did it today. I will be off driving again later tonight and might be gone for a few days, depending on where the freight has to go. Also my partner is going to work in a couple of hours and will work till 6.00am, so after she waters the fruit and vegetables in the morning she will be going to bed to sleep. That means no weeding for her either, so under these circumstances I could not afford to put it off.

Hello Monkeyrose, Good to hear that you have an increase in your salary! Sometimes, I just love to put things off. Like you, I always feel like I have just too many things to do that I don't know where to start. I end up putting some things off first. It is not going to lessen the things that I need to do, it makes me have more and more stuff to settle!

hi monkeyrose, yes i do put things off all the time i do hope i can change this year..

I always put things off!! I hate because I think it is a bad example to show your kids. On weekends we don't do homework until Sunday nights. To me that shows it is ok to wait til last minute to do something and I am trying to break that habit. I also put off many other things too until last minute. Nothing comes to mind at the second, but I know there are many things. I think if I planned things more and was a little more organized I would be such a procrastinator.

How nice to have a salary increase. Hurry up and get your passport so you'll be able to take your trip. There are never enough hours in the day for me, so lots of things are put off till the next day, and then the next, and so on. I'm supposed to be retired, at least from my day job, so I obviously try to take on too much. At the moment, while I'm myLotting, I should be finishing an article I started writing this morning, also doing the accounts for my husband's taxi business, also loads of paperwork and filing, also quite a pile of ironing. I think I'd better go.
