Are You a Procrastinator?

Do you procrastinate? I'll tell you tomorrow about if I am....:playful:
 

I was when I was much younger. I would be the type who would cram for an exam the night before. I'm not much of one now. I take care of the important things as soon as I can but sometimes I let the little things go to the last minute.
 

I tend to be but I learned during my working years to do the most difficult, unpleasant tasks first and get them out of the way. Doing that frees up the mind from constantly worrying and going over those items in your mind several times before you actually get to them. After the unpleasant things are out of the way the rest of the day is clear sailing.

I often wondered if that was the best way to go was to cram. Doesn't it make sense that the fresher the data the more you remember?

i'm terrible. I just leave stuff until I am in the mood to tackle it. I do a better job than if I have to force myself.

I'm procrastinating my funeral.

I am the same, funeral definitely, but I guess I will be on time :)
 
I'm a mixture. I'm pretty OCD so I make lists and plan everything on a big paper calendar and also in my notes on my phone but I do my most getting ready for something the day before....I think it's because I'm lazy these days. :)
 
No. If I have something to do I just keep dreading it until it's done so I go ahead and "get it over with" instead of putting it off. This way it's not hanging over my head nagging me until I do it.
 
Oh yeah!!!!! Born procrastinator. I'm late for everything. The people, who are always 15 minutes early for everything, detest me. They think I do it on purpose to irritate them. They don't realize the same thing that ensures they are early for everything is the same thing that makes me late for everything. And I don't know what that is.
 
No, I like to get things done when they need doing. My motto is, never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
I sleep better knowing I have finished up today's work so I can start the new day fresh.
I'm usually on time for appointments but I'm not perfect. :)

Back in my 10 cups 'o coffee days I always had a list going, usually with a category header(groceries-hardware store-automotive).

Now, it's like "oh shoot, I better write that down"...but forgetting what it was, by the time I find the notepad. :rolleyes:
