Also, I've been meaning to change my Avatar for almost a week now.... So have I, strangely enough. I got as far as deleting my old one but that's about it. |

SEe? We should trade, you would love to write my paper! Only 700 words left!
Although I have to admit, I know nothing about programming, except that they have internet on computers now.

I have biochemistry data to analyze. I've spent close to a month collecting it and I really don't want to run through the numbers.

You realize that if you were a true procrastinator you never woulda started this thread, right?
So there is a ray of hope for you after all!

I dunno about that.. Your statement implies that procrastinators do nothing at all..
I am doing something, just not what i should be doing

I have spent the past 6 weeks cleaning my room. It would have been cleaned 5 weeks ago but I keep putting it off until - whaddya know, all the work I did got undone. Oh, and last semester I just didn't do one of my finals. Teacher was an uberbitch and I figured it didn't matter, I'd fail anyway. (Somehow I got a D in that class)

Yikes.. It's also a big weird habit of mine to make sure my entire bachelor pad apartment is so clean-one-can-eat-off-the-toilet before I even start opening word.
On that note. I just finished the 500 words I had started to work on since 9:00 PM. Less than 6 Hours before my Class starts and I still have 10 14 page papers to read... wooo.. Zombie-like brain day for me!

Well I procrasinate and prevaricate, bad combo as one puts off stuff until so long and another makes excuses not to do the something. XD. So yeh, ya think you're bad. XD. Like for instance I put off reading a book, put off dealing with reality. My life is constant avoidances XD.

I once worked on a research paper the night before it was due...and I got a B (because of spelling and grammar errors). If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

I dunno about that.. Your statement implies that procrastinators do nothing at all.. I am doing something, just not what i should be doing Procrastinators have to do SOMETHING, they just don't do the something they should be doing. But if they procrastinate on something long enough, it will never get done as they will die before completion of the task, so a serious, world-champion type procrastinator may not ever actually complete a task at all. Your best procrastinating advice is going to come from those types of procrastinators who are giving advice by not giving advice because they are putting off getting back to you. The better they are and the more important their advice the longer they will take to respond. And if they are really, really good, the two of you will never converse at all and the advice just doesn't get any purer than that. |

RedHunter :
But that begs the question - If the world-class procrastinator fails to complete the task, does he not fail to be a procrastinator period and falling into a completely different category?.
I would consider a world class procrastinator as one who can conjure up something within the last seconds of the deadline - something as good, if not better than what his/her peer has been doing for over a much much longer time span.
It's the quality of work relative to the short amount of time that distinguishes world class procrastinators from everyone else, IMHO.

Someone who procrastinates at becoming a polished procrastinator is merely an amateurcrastinator.I would consider a world class procrastinator as one who can conjure up something within the last seconds of the deadline - something as good, if not better than what his/her peer has been doing for over a much much longer time span. That person would be called Trey Parker.It's the quality of work relative to the short amount of time that distinguishes world class procrastinators from everyone else, IMHO. |

I believe I can solve this dilemma of what a master procrastinator truly is...
I'll do it later.

As Douglas Adams once famously said, and thousands of procrastinators have (mis)quoted before me, "I love deadlines, I love the noise they make as they go flying by"
