kirottu Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 That strikes almost too close to home. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
wesley2 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 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 .
Gfted1 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Oh yay, another "medical" condition. Maybe we can call it punctually challenged? Anywho, Im usually the opposite. Id much rather get a task done and over then have it hanging over my head. I will occasionally drag my feet on a project that seems especially difficult or time consuming, but not often.

random n00b Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Fascinating. It claims that some people procrastinate to cause crises just to get kicks.Um, that's not quite what I understood from the article. What you are describing is another well documented disorder, though. It occurs to me that I might well fall into that category, or have done in the past.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"...
Moatilliatta Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I'm just waiting for laziness to become a mental disorder. 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.
taks Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 i think i'm going to wait till this thread is near the bottom of the page before commenting... taks comrade taks... just because.

Dark_Raven Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2309735/Ti...-to-expert.html Fascinating.

Arkan Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 404 "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." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Guest The Architect Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 So I'm a procrastinator because I'm ****ed in the head? Makes sense!
qt3.14159 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 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'.
I want teh kotor 3 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 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. R.I.P.

Gorgon Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Is this anything like waiting to get up from your chair until the carpet starts to catch fire, lived my whole life like that. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
taks Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 nope, like waiting till your ass is on fire, then noticing that the carpet is on fire and deciding to do something about it. taks comrade taks... just because.
