The mother of all evils

Thy word is “Procrastination.” Notice how I capitalized the P so the word would appear as a proper noun. It gives it some power for such a blasphemous word.

I am the Queen of Procrastination. Also I capitalized the Q because you can’t be a Procrastinator without a royal capitalized title. (Yes, that means you have to call me your majesty.) I know you are thinking that we all are, but I am not your typical Procrastinator. I take honor in Procrastination because without it, I would never have the drive to get anything done. However, not many people know that I am one and think I am a hard worker because I accomplish great things. No. I tell people, I am lazy, lazy, and beyond lazy. They don’t believe it and then they ask how can I be lazy and still have a job? I say, I am lazy and I don’t care that I am, but I will get whatever I have to get done on time with no problems! I hide the act of Procrastination which resulted from my sloth like behaviour well enough, because I never make a big deal or panic putting off things to the last minute. On the contrary, I plan for it.

I plan to be a Procrastinator because it gives me all the energy in the world to accomplish my tasks. I tend to be the uncaring one as well. I always put things off to the last minute because I don’t really care how I get it done and why I am getting it done. As long as I get it done before the specified deadline. Some people don’t know why Procrastination is such a common thing now a days. It’s an unintentional action due to how much we don’t care about a situation. However, I care enough to keep asking, “when is it due? When do you want it by?” I keep asking this to everyone or looking up deadlines. I don’t have a day planner or agenda at all. I have the constant itch to check dates and memorize them or keep asking them.

So I remember dates of things I have to do and get done, but I can’t force my self to get on it and work on it or get it done for the life of me. I can’t stand the fact that I think that it will take me hours and weeks to accomplish a task, when in reality, my brain functions better when I am at the edge and a deadline is near. I keep saying, maybe tomorrow, next week, next month, aah, the date is coming up in 3 days, maybe I should look into it more and see what I can get done in 72 hours. Or if I have to sign up or do something, I wait till the last day or the last few hours possible. That’s when coffee becomes an essential tool to success! So I keep thinking, why rush? Let me think about it to the point that I have no reason anymore to keep on waiting.

Has Procrastination ever lead me to a situation I wasn’t able to accomplish what I had to do? Hmm. No.

I used to think it was a disease or a mental psychological problem I had, and I was planning to go to these counseling sessions of “how to over come Procrastination,” but I was too lazy to go to them.

Anyways, at work, all I do is beg for someone to give me a deadline so I have something to work towards to. I can’t have no deadlines. Without deadliens I can’t be lazy, and I strive for laziness! There has to be a deadline! I go crazy that I panic and make up my own deadlines and they are pretty short time-framed deadlines and I end up getting my work done too quickly. I then just sit there and do nothing for a while. Argh. Procrastination has made me this jittery crazy person that can’t live life without deadlines. I don’t have the energy or drive to get anything done without a final date!

Damn. All I can imagine now is a Microsoft Project document open with a time estimate chart with so many milestones dates. OMG! What has Project Management courses taught me!

Time Frame -> Procrastination -> Milestone

Now that’s my ideal formula for success!

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, Whatever!
