are you a procrastinator?

[ulysses]

I am, in a huge way. In fact, I'm procrastinating right now. Drives my wife up the wall.

One of my professors last night mentioned that procrastination is thought to stem from a fear of failure, which strikes me as true in my case.

1. I'm just lazy.

[ulysses]

2. there's that too.

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

8. Me too.

[belladonna]

3. Yep, I'm doing it right now

I'm blaming the doc who's dictating tho.... asshole's giving me SUCH a headache and I had to take a break before I went insane :banghead:

[ulysses]

[ulysses]

[Road Scholar]

7. I'll let you know tommorow. LOL

[NMDemDist2]

9. i vote "No" unless sweeping the floors is involved

i just can't seem to get that into my routine --- what's up with that???

:shrug:

[ulysses]

11. see post #1.

:D

[NMDemDist2]

13. ooo that's harsh (and really not true) I keep on top of most everything

but i always seem to get sidetracked before I get the broom in my hands

once it's in my hands, I'm a killer

:rofl:

[ulysses]

14. not meaning to be harsh

but come now - I'm the same way with cleaning, and I try to foist it off on the procrastination thing too, but let's be real. :)

[NMDemDist2]

15. well ok maybe..., my kitchen is ALWAYS clean but the rest of the house

well, maybe not so much :blush:

[baldguy]

10. I started painting my house 4 years ago.

I'm only half way done. (I should note that I have a brick house - I just need to paint the trim.)

[NMDemDist2]

16. we do a side a year

that way every 4 years everything has been painted :rofl:

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. eh, I'll vote in the poll later

:P

[BarenakedLady]

17. Ok dude

Like I'm tired. I'll answer your question later, ok. I just don't feel like it right now.

[KG]

18. i used to care about getting stuff done.

but i've come to see it makes no difference at all...

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

19. Depends on how much structure I have

During a college trimester I'm all over everything. Every minute of my day is accounted for, organized, and scheduled. I come home for a few weeks with an ambitious to do list of things ideally would be great to work on but then it all falls apart on me.

[reyd reid reed]

20. I'll be back....

:hi:

[ulysses]

23. you always say that.

<<channeling my wife>>

[Heidi]

21. I'll be back later to recommend this thread. (nt)

[ulysses]

22. I doubt it.

:D :hi:

[Heidi]

25. Heh.

:kick:ed and recommended. :evilgrin:

[u4ic]

24. Often

but don't get in my way the day I decide to do what I should have the past day/week/month, unless you think being covered in tire tracks is a fashion statement. A friend called me a 'force of nature' when I get into that mode...;)


Most of the time, I try to do what I need to, as soon as possible. If I don't, I'll forget. :silly:

[MysticalChicken]

26. You think you are a procrastinator?!

Bow before me, I am your queen.

I WILL wait until the very last minute to do something, especially if I don't want to do it in the first place. E.g. I will not do laundry until I have literally nothing to wear except the clothes I currently have on. And even then I'll be like "if I look hard enough I'll probably find something to wear..."

[ulysses]

29. yes, but have you ever

gone out and bought a new pack of underwear so that you didn't have to do laundry for another three days? :D

[Guava Jelly]

27. I really should vote.

aaaaaa maybe later heck there are other things i should be doing right now

[buddhamama]

28. i'll get back to you with an answer

:D :hi: ulys!

[NewWaveChick1981]
