Fascinating. It claims that some people procrastinate to cause crises just to get kicks. It occurs to me that I might well fall into that category, or have done in the past.

I can sympathize with that too. I work better when the pressure is on because in those situations I know that I actually have to do the work otherwise I'm screwed. I don't think i shoot myself in the foot on purpose but I do bide my time until I cannot wait any longer. Maybe that is shooting myself in the foot..ha, must be subconscious :( .

Um, that's not quite what I understood from the article. What you are describing is another well documented disorder, though.

Bad stuff man. The depression analogy in the article is pretty good.

 

I still can't imagine going to your average shrink and going like, "well, I'm fine and all, I'm simply lazy beyond belief is all"...

I'm just waiting for laziness to become a mental disorder. :sorcerer:

 

I don't doubt that some procrastinators do count as mentally something-or-other but most people are mentally sound. I would say that people have a disorder if they can't stop procrastinating no matter what, and that could indeed be quite serious.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

So I'm a procrastinator because I'm ****ed in the head? Makes sense!

I was about to post in this thread yesterday, but I wound up being distracted by something slightly more interesting or something...

 

Apparently I'm one of those people who procrastinates dull and routine tasks...

 

Which is entirely obvious by the state of my laundry.

Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

So, because I would rather do omething other than what I'm supposed to do, I'm crazy? Don't you love science? :lol; (I do, actually)

In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum.
