I like ..."Reversus Procrastinationus" ... I like it, Karla!<br /><br />And I agree that putting work before self care, friends, and fun is not always the better choice. <br /><br />On the other hand... Not activating my debit card until it has expired and then I can't find it because I keep putting off cleaning off my desk but I don't have time to look for it because I still have to keep my commitment to myself, post on the prosperity project, make a flyer for a friend, and finish a website I have been procrastinating for weeks... and then suddenly realizing that I still haven't filed my income tax yet...and where the heck are my w2's in all this mess and OMG did I forget to get catfood again? And how the heck am I going to put gas in my car now that my debit card is expired? Especially since I don't have any cash and totally blew off ordering more checks... So, instead of taking care of any of that (because now I'm exhausted - and rightly so, having worked a long hard 10 hour day) I'm thinking I'd like to call my friends, chat for a while, turn on the TV and have a beer, (after a game or two of freecell) and does that make me a sluggard? or does that make me... um... well... the word overloaded comes to mind. <br /><br />There... I think I feel better, but I'm not sure why! And of course I'm going to totally blow off the flyer, the taxes, and the website, but <b>not</b> our project, the commitment, or the beer....Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-9554761325913402512010-03-31T12:37:31.433-05:002010-03-31T12:37:31.433-05:00Me too !

These past 2-3 days by the time I finish "my thing" (the drawing a day), its the last thing I'm doing for the day .... :-(<br /><br />Looks like I'm a procrastinator too. I need to snap out of it !!!Sudhanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-73809836959479512232010-03-31T08:52:22.791-05:002010-03-31T08:52:22.791-05:00Personally, I like "Sluggard" and plan t...Personally, I like "Sluggard" and plan to use it every chance I get! Great word! I think I have a mental disorder known as "Reversus Procrastinationus" where the afflicted person takes care of all the responsibilities and delays fun, social activity or self-care. "I can read a book later, I should really mop the floor", "I'd like to call my friend, but perhaps I should wait until after I start dinner," and then I never call. Then I get to the end of the day and the place inside that needed those things is empty. "Oh Darn, ran out of time again!"<br /><br />My goal is to be a sluggard but I don't know how! <br /><br />Funny you posted this topic yesterday because I didn't get my sit ups done until late at night!

Looks like I might be making progress in that area already!Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.com
