The Procrastinator's club
 
The Procrastinator's Club

Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task which requires completion by focusing on some other action or task. For the person procrastinating this may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of crisis, and the chagrin of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.

The word itself comes from the Latin word procrastinatus: pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow). The term's first known appearance was in the 17th century, during a sermon by a Reverend Anthoney Walker on procrastination. The sermon reflected procrastination's connection at the time to task avoidance or delay, volition or will, and sin.


From Wikipedia.com

The Creed
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.


Well, I've been putting this off for a while now (:P), but I think we need a place to discuss how much we procrastinate. Like I myself procrastinate from school work and even sleeping ... mostly due to PC.

So come here and talk about it. We could discuss how, when and why we procrastinate ... or we could put it off till tomorrow.

I'm a Master of Procrastination. *giggle-laugh*

I should get off the computer and do something buuuuuut...

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 12:45 AM

I think we all know that feeling.

Hey, show-off XD I'm not a "master", just a lazy arse that can't find the motivation to stop being an internet-dependent procrastinator.

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 12:45 AM

I ish teh Queen of lazy..teh rest of yous are prolly just kings..since Im too lazy to bother asking everyone whether they would be teh kings or not.

<3 Nica--Ish too lazy to post anywhere else

Nell October 18th, 2006 12:47 AM

Hmmm... you know, this could really turn out to be very, VERY popular thread... but then again, some people might not be bothered XDDDDDDDD

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 12:50 AM

I would think it would be popular but Im too lazy to stop thinking about teh Vegimite to think about this thread. But I ish too lazy to get off here though Im meant to.

<3 Nica--Still likes her vegimite

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 12:54 AM

Hmmm, well I think the thought of having an active thread about procastination is the ultimate paradox.

Oh, and I've read an Archie comic about them starting a procastination club ^^ It'd be cool if I could scan it up.

And wat is the deal with that "<3 Nico" thing of yours simpsonqueen?

Anywho, I've just started school again, and I hoped that I would focus more on work ... I guess not :P

pokejungle October 18th, 2006 1:08 AM

I'd have to assume Nica to be her name, or at least a nickname.

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 1:41 AM

hahaha, guess I couldn't tell if it was an a.

Wellz, is there anyother ways besides that people like to procrastinate other than staying on the computer and ... thinking about vegimite ... ???

pokejungle October 18th, 2006 1:45 AM

I sometimes read or play DS instead of working.

Sometimes.

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 1:55 AM

hehe, I wanna get a DS. But that would require me actually getting ready to go to the shops, getting the money to purchase one and so on.

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 4:04 AM

XD, Yeah I only type Nica because Im too lazy to type my username, IOW Its my nickname. I would play Nintendo DS But it takes too much effort to get it out of teh bottom of my heavy school bag.

<3 Nica--Yeah it's an a, not an o XDD

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 4:10 AM

Oh heavy school bags! Mine's heavy as well, cause in my opinion it takes too much time to go to my locker and store my books there ... I'd rather spend it eating and talking.

That and I've forgotten my combination :P

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 4:14 AM

If we even had locker I'd probably do teh same, But I guess my teachers belong in this club because they are too lazy to get some lockers for us..

<3 Nica--Damn lazy teachers, like me

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 4:17 AM

Is it up to the teacher's to provide lockers? I thought it was up to the school itself.

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 4:22 AM

..Teachers, school same thing, both are in teh same place, it seemed more tireing to explain teh whole thing so I left it at teachers.

<3 Nica--Have nothing extra to add on, or ish too lazy to at this moment

doesn't matter October 18th, 2006 4:24 AM

Well how do you procrastinate, since you are the supposed queen of it :P

Ho-Oh October 18th, 2006 4:29 AM

*Shakes head* Not supposed, definate. I procrastinate by shortening them to em', Only doing half of my homework but I be good and get full marks, Instead of do teh dishes I stay in teh toilet(One of teh famed ways of procrastinating dishes), Many other ways but too lazy to think of them ATM.

<3 Nica--I only go to teh toilet because every where else is too far to walk
