**BitterPen** · 01-14-2005, 10:51 AM

I was gonna post in this thread a minute ago... but I couldn't find the energy to do it.

I am the worlds WORST procrastinator. This is my biggest flaw.

I don't run out of gas, but my drivers license went out and I didn't get it renewed for like 2 years.

hehehe

I'm with Napoleon, I'll post about this thread later

**mindoza** · 01-14-2005, 10:56 AM

For my friends and family I hand out a standard answer when bugged about something I am procrastinating : " I am looking into it"

I was looking into hiring a trainer for about 5 years before one day this september I just hired one.
I think I need a personal assistant!!!!!!!!

**Manowar** · 01-14-2005, 11:09 AM

I am the worst procrastinator out there

**Paco, of Large Cash.** · 01-14-2005, 11:12 AM

Nope and I see no reason for such.

Do you like it when the bus is late (punctuality and procrastination all fall under the same category ... time)?

**Rui** · 01-14-2005, 11:14 AM

I'm trying to change...and attm I can say i'm far from the procastinator I was lets say 3 months ago :D

I know it is not a good way to be but i just cant help myself...When it comes to doing work for others I never disappoint, but if it is for myself then shit the earth has to shake sometimes to get me going!!!!

**Shoehorn!** · 01-14-2005, 11:19 AM

I am a procrastinator too. And I am lazy. A deadly combination.

LOL ... at the least you take care of your commitments.

**Rorschach** · 01-14-2005, 12:22 PM

i have found the way out of chronic procrastination is to master the skill of being able to write a good list and then just make yourself do it.

**QuaWee** · 01-14-2005, 12:40 PM

Good call. Actual "to-do" and goal lists and a real business plan do help.

Too Funny....That describes me to a "T". If I make a commitment to someone....I keep it! But if I need to get something done for myself....It can always wait till later.

then you haven't mastered writing a good list... one that suits your working style and personality.

you've got to abandon what you think you should be doing (but for whatever reason you aren't, and instead you're feeling bad about not doing it), and focus on just doing what you realistically are going to do, and feel good about your successes and build momentum from there. You have to exercise that lazy mental muscle to force yourself to at least get started (and then the momentum of actually getting into it and getting stuff done will take over).

**flashfire** · 01-14-2005, 01:20 PM

I am a horrible procrastinator...I dont pay my bills until the last day if then (eventhough I have the money)

**VideoPass_Alex** · 01-14-2005, 01:20 PM

sometimes.

i try hard to kep up with my stuff though.

i hate being behind.

**Rorschach** · 01-14-2005, 01:22 PM

and once you have a master list, i find it really good to have little lists of the things i'm doing right now to keep me on track... eg. it might only have 4 five minute jobs on it to get started, but you can whack through them with purpose and then feel good about what you've done... and that inspires you to get to the nex thing.

Very good advise, I am going to take my 3 page list and pick three things and see how I do....Thanks!!!!

**wes** · 01-14-2005, 01:25 PM

**mardigras** · 01-14-2005, 01:31 PM

I've been meaning to post to this thread for 3 hours

**Methodcash Rick** · 01-14-2005, 01:39 PM

This thread is too long, I'll read it later..

**Top Jimmy** · 01-14-2005, 01:41 PM

Yes, and no. I am also indecisive.

**axelcat** · 01-14-2005, 01:59 PM

I used to be then I snapped out of it and got to work

**Rosie** · 01-14-2005, 02:10 PM
