Procrastination

Any procrastinators here?

I'm sure there is. I'm one. Big time.

Sometimes it can be no big deal.

Other times, it can be dangerous.

My example of a dangerous one is that I ran out of meds for
my hypertension........a year ago.

I procrastinated in getting my meds. Stupid thing to do.

So I decided to call my doc for an appointment to renew my prescription and to get my BP checked.

I didn't think my BP was that bad.

It wasn't. It was worse.

215 over 140.

So now I'm back on my meds.

Anyone here procrastinate to the extreme?

EDIT: Even the humorous ones.

Well, nothing like that. Worst I've done was to put my wife's insurance sticker on her car for 5 weeks.

Procrastinator's creed:


"Why do something today, when you can do it, tomorrow!"



I used to be terrible about that.

Now, with my health issues, and attempting to care for my ailing parents, chasing my kids and trying to work on my wife's 'honey-do' list, I don't get anything done that is on MY list.


If I only had three more hours every day. . . . . .

Ya, me too.

I am bad for it. It depends on if it is something I WANT to do or not...

I have been bad about procrastination in the past. I think it has gotten beyond bad since I found this site. I think we should start a procrastinators support group. We will probably just put it off till later.

I used to be really really bad at procrastination. It took a great effort, but I finally charged that aspect of myself. The only thing I can say I still procrastinate, is returning phone calls.

It took me 4 hours to read this, and another 3 hours to finally post.

Nah, I don't procrastinate, I call it A.D.D.
