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.

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.

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 

That's For OTHER Procrastinators (like your kids or spouse or employees)

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).

These people want to help YOU Stop Procrastinating... 

YOU??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

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!

Games, GAMES, and MORE Games! 

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

Need a New Way to Waste Time? 

Here's an ever expanding List!

• Check your email...then check it again!
  
  Text message all those people you care about
  
  Hmmm. I think your NASCAR (teapot, blue phrog, Barbie doll, Pez dispenser, key ring, Elvis poster) collection is a bit dusty. You'll need to polish those up a bit before you can get serious about work.
  
  Face Book...yep. I don't know what it is, but apparently some folk use it as a procrastination tool. Not me. I use a mirror.
  
  Have a snack
  
  Play a computer game (Come on, BEAT that high score!)
  
  Enter online contests. You might actually win something! (I did. In 2005 I won an Edy's ice cream party for 100 people. It was SO totally cool!)
  
  Reorganize your closet.
  
  Download some new music.
  
  Reorganize the music you already have.
  
  Play with your kids (This one truly isn't wasted time...)
  
  Watch some Reality TV (It'll help YOU escape reality!)
  
  Read those tabloids. Giant Martian babies are running for office!
  
  Make a phone call. Make several!
  
  Clean the house, or your desk, or your car
  
  Play with your pets.
  
  Reminisce over all those pictures in your photo program.
  
  Scrapbook a page or two (or more!)
  
  Read a novel, read a play, read a magazine - heck, read a cereal box!
  
  Work on a silly, but fun Squidoo lens instead of an important money making one!
  
  Doodle!
