   Unk - Thanks for pointing this one out. It’s fabulous. Love your blog, by the way. I’m a subscriber.

   Damn it Unk!!!

   Now you gave me more ideas to procrastinate. Now I’ll never get my script done!!! LOL

   Thanks be to ye, Unk.

   I got a new one — Procrastination is watching this video for the tenth time.

   That about sums it up.

   Hmmmm?? Have these guys been watching me?

   Reminded me — sort’a — of a George Carlin routine (RIP).

   Keep Writing,
   Mike

   Aside from the humour there is a serious side to why we procrastinate. But when I am amid the behaviour I can ‘do’ for hours and actually do nothing. Don’t even let me open online Mahjong if I am in that avoidance mode! “Just one more game”.

   And no, moving to Solitaire is NOT actually doing anything towards task completion.

   And web surfing. So..so…bad…

   Huh. According to the video procrastination is, ultimately, “avoiding the inevitable”. And then they showed us a picture of a coffin.

   Great idea. Let’s all kill ourselves and get it over with.

    So, you can pick your nose with a pencil until it jabs your brain? That could help.

    While I am certainly not advocating procrastination, it is simply fucking amazing how much one can achieve at the last minute… LOL.

    MaryAnita,

    Lead on the brain can lead to antisocial behavior and lower intelligence so please exercise extreme caution when practicing the art of procrastination.

    Lead on the brain

    You’ve been warned.

    Four minutes well spent.

    Don’t see the brilliance in this at all. It had a bad imitation-70s animation feel, and the narration got on my nerves after about halfway through. If anything, it motivated to do something — anything — other than finish watching this.

    I found it amazing because it is validation that I’m not the only one who does these things. My procrastination doesn’t involve making a cup of tea or washing the dishes, but it does involve surfing the net.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm….
    no new posts in a week, Unk. Are you procrastinating?? ;-)

    Keep Writing,

    Procrastination is fearing the shit you’re gonna learn about yourself during that next writing kick.

    And I thought I was the master of procrastination! Now I feel better knowing someone is better at it than me, which takes ALL the pressure off. Love the Irish angst in the video, too. I second UNK’s comment - fucking brilliant.

    Now I know who is watching me. It’s you!
    My friends call me the “Queen of proscastination”
    all the remarks fit me to the T.
    Blashing….I can’t help it.
    Any advise how to change?

    Emancipation from procrastination:

    Tips:
    1. Reading keeps the mind working and sometimes helps one write good stories.
    2. A hobby like drawing or something else could help.
    3. Taking and spending time with family members and maybe helping them as well.
    4. Knowing that there is not a “unkillable evil” as some writers of films may think.
    5. Reading and going on the Internet for two hours tops (no exploring until it is 11 in the morning).
    6. Identifying times where you have turned from something bad.
    7. Making changes in your life for TODAY.

    Know that Jesus was not just some plain-old teacher. God loved the world so much He sent Him to go and die so the people in this place don’t and didn’t have to. He loves the ones that don’t hear Him and He waits for them to want to change for Him.
    GOD BLESS.

    John 3:16
