Procrastination Report

Once Again, Groovy Waits 'Til the Last Minute!

Ah yes, I've managed to do it again.

I decided to enter a writing contest online. (Sadly, the site is now defunct.) Like a good little freelancer, I mused carefully over possible topics as I blog-hopped and scrapbooked and tinkered with Squidoo lenses and played with html codes for my blogs.

Slowly, a theme began to form in my mind. I dutifully avoided the keyboard until the fateful day that my hubby was working and Grammy took the girlies away for a few hours. All my distractions were gone. Now I had no excuses left; it was time to write my entry.

I sat and stared at the blank page, then left to make a cup of tea. I typed several sentences, but it was hard to focus because the house was SO unusually quiet. So I put on a motivational cd. I sat down to type some more.

Unfortunately, the cd was TOO motivational. I got up and danced around the living room, gustily singing. Hey, wait - I liked that bass riff. I grabbed the cd and ran upstairs to spend WAY too much time trying to duplicate it on my Fender Mustang. A quick glance at the clock reminded me that time was ticking away. I needed to get back to my contest entry.

But first, I needed a snack, preferably something that required chopping and baking and warm conforting aromas. (Sigh of contenment) And more tea. I needed more tea!

OK. Back to the contest. I typed some more. In fact, I really buckled down and didn't stop writing until I heard Grammy pull in the garage. Unfortunately, the entry was choppy and lifeless and WAY over the word limit. I hit "save" with a disgusted sigh and went to play with the girlies.

As each day passed I thought, hmmmm, I really should edit that entry and send it in. Yup, I really should.

Well, it was due by midnight on November 8th. I edited it on November 8th and sent it in by supper time. The editing worked major miracles and now I feel it's a piece that will really catch the attention of the judges.

Procrastination pays off, yet again.

It's Happened Again

I came here to add some fun new stuff to my favorite lens and I got distracted by computer games and political phones calls and fixing food for my kiddos and trimming my nails and typing away on my NaNoWriMo novel and watching Saturday Night Live clips on Hulu.com and noshing on some chocolate and reading a romance book so I can review it and, well, you know...stuff.

Now I can't remember what it was I wanted to tell you about.

Sigh.

It's too early for Christmas, ...

...so buy Your Mom a Late Gift for Mother's Day

Of course, if you buy her wigs and accessories this year, chances are she'll never want a gift from you again!

Wisdom From Larry the Cable Guy

Or so they tell me...I'll check out my sources tomorrow.

1. A day without sunshine is like night.

2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

6. He who laughs last thinks slowest.

7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.

10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.

14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?

15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

20. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, "What the heck happened?"

22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

Here's Some Better Stuff For Your Mom

Hey, while you're at it, send some of that chocolate to me!

Guilt Free Procrastination!!!!

You Can Waste Time AND Help Feed the Hungry!

Folks, it doesn't get any better than this! I found a great website called freerice.com . You play a word game akin to Balderdash and for every definition you get correct, they donate 10 grains of rice through the U.N. to help end world hunger.

I checked it out on Snopes.com and it's legitimate.

The words are REAL buggers - waaaay out of my league (In Balderdash, I'm the one who makes up fabulous definitions, NOT the person who guesses the correct ones!)

So, in the true spirit of charity I have cheated for some (most) of the words by looking them up. Thus far I am up to 940 grains of rice and that's after missing a few because I gave a poorly educated guess or it wasn't in my dictionary.

So, go have fun, increase your word power, and help the hungry too!

Procrastination with power...I love it!

The Ultimate Gift for Procrastinators

Get your "Round Tuits" here!

I'll do it when I get around to it...: Have you ever put something off saying "Why do it today when it can be done tomorrow?"

Do you know someone else who has the same attitude?

If so, then this site is for you (or them), because now they can finally get 'a Round Tuit' (around to it).

And Don't Forget Father's Day!

Dad Needs Ways to Avoid Yard Work too.

Give him a beer and video game!

Oh Look!!!! Shiny Things!!!!

Take a few <strike>hours</strike> minutes here to Ooooo and Aaaaah.

You are in the mist of a busy project, an important thought, a deep conversation, when suddenly, out of nowhere...SHINY THINGS!

OOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo.

Shiny Things dot com: One would hope, with a website name like this, that one could find lots of distractions. I didn't find LOTS of distractions, because it's mainly a techy site featuring "internet services" and I am geek-impaired. BUT, it does feature the intricate, interactive game "SneezyMUD" which looks well worth investigating.

Not only that, but they have "ScrubbyBubbles" which is fun to say over and over again even if it IS only a webhosting service.

:D

You NEED These Books!

After all, we could all benefit from being a little Gamier. Um....hmmm.

Playing games can help keep your mind nimble, protect you from boredom, increase your problem solving skills, and give you an excuse for using that groovy electric pencil sharpener.

It can also prevent you from getting your work done.

Woot!

So on to the game books!

These people want to help YOU Stop Procrastinating...

YOU??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh my word. STOP procrastinating? Who are they kidding?

Overcoming Procrastination: These kind souls want to help you. Really. They do.
Stop Procrastinating: Psychologists here. They want to help you too. You can tell because their website has BOLD print and fancy yellow highlighting and obnoxious video testimonials. Oooooo. Aaaaah.

"And after I bored you to death with lots of psychological jargon, how did you feel?"

"I'll never play a video game again...." (I'll just watch myself online over and over and over and post it on my blog and email it to all my friends and make Squidoo lens about my experience and write up my fascinating memoirs and earn zillions of bucks selling your book as an affiliate!)
Tame Your Brain: Just visualize yourself being productive...

Yep, I can do that. I can visualize the floor being mopped, the dishes being done, and the yard being mowed.

I kind of like this. Visualizing it is a heck of a lot easier than actually DOING it and I have lots of time left over to goof off!
How to Overcome Procrastination: This well intentioned lady wants to help us all overcome our loathesome, time wasting habit of procrastinating. She's dedicated PAGES to help us. I mean there's "Part 1" and "Part 2" and MORE.

That's one committed lady, so go check out her web info! (Besides, reading the tips on her website will set you back at least 20 minutes or more on that homework you're supposed to be doing!)

Oh No. DON'T Tell Me You Forgot Your Niece's Birthday!

What? You Forgot Your Nephew's TOO???

Man, do I ever admire your commitment to procrastination!

Games, GAMES, and MORE Games!

C'mon...Beat that high score. You can do it!

I'm starting to discover so many game sites, that they deserve their own module. I've put them here so you can vote for your favorites AND add any others that you'd like to share with your co-procrastinators.

(This is a family friendly site, so please don't add anything "adult". Thanks!)
