Procrastination is like masturbation, you're only f**king yourself.
But seriously, the thing about procrastination is
Bah, i'll get to that later...

Going to start a sweepstake when you'll get round to making this call. Ever the optimist i'm going to say one day this week.
I've got a presentation I need to give in 12 minutes, i'm not ready yet and I am still in this thread sending useless messages..
|
I didn't make the call yet....
truthfully, it was because I got sidetracked by doing 50 other things and by the time I got round to it, it was 5pm my time, well after close of business in Madrid.
I might call tomorrow.
Actually, at this very moment I'm meant to be working on something which I said I would definitely, absolutely, positively file on Thursday.. Oh sh*t!

You do need some meaningful goals in life to strive for, helps pass the time and makes you feel good.
Man With Hat suggested we get the Mariah Carey thread to 1,000 pages by 16th Oct this year. Totally worthwhile goal and valid use of all our time.

Further vindication that procrastination and total lack of preparation can pay off sometimes.

I don't think it helps. When I take a rest from it for a while, I can get my head in order (I can actually walk into a shop and remember what I came in for - plus you can concentrate better).
perhaps these mundane things we do in life are the problem and we need to get out and climb mountains or live in jungles or something!!

The weed makes things alot worse. I smoked it for over 15 years almost every day. I only gave it up earlier this year, and although I do feel more focussed, my short term memory is terrible, and I find myself slurring my speech and forgetting words.
Sure helps with prog appreciation though..
You wont get me climbing moutains, but the more active you are physically, the fitter you'll be mentally/emotionally IMO.
