Check this out..oor you can do it later I guess:

"PROCRASTINATOR'S CREED"

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my dead lines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time givin.

7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and /or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more significant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/wait/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what i can forget about forever.

14. I will become a member of the Ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinators Society) if they ever get it organized.

Why 'put off' today, what you can 'postpone' tomorrow. My personal credo.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now...

I have that mini-poster thing framed.

I've always thought the word "Procrastinate" is such a long and complex word for it's definition. 4 syllables? You gotta be kidding.. We should replace the word with something more suitable for its definition... I don't know.. how about "bah!" or "meh"..?

Oh man... There's so much I can tell about procrastination... My entire life is tainted with the nightmare of procrastinating the most vital things I should have done a long time ago. This is a painful thread to read.

Is your post always the last one in a thread? Many times have I experienced this.
After much careful thought, I have determined that
my posts are so brilliant and witty, that they cause readers,
new and old, to be caught in infinite loops of pure
enlightenment. This, in turn, disables a person`s ability to respond.
For those of us with this unique ability, and
for those of us aspiring to be Threadkillers,
I offer this thread as a support group.
Never again will you be alone!
Get those keyboards ready and respond.
