If you're a one-horse production, you'll pay a heavy price if procrastination trumps discipline. If you have a team, pawn everything off that doesn't fit your sweet spot. Here's the thing. If you have the magic money skills, don't burden yourself with the mundane stuff. If you're Michelangelo, you shouldn't be cutting the grass even if you love cutting grass. Joe :D Procrastination is shouting you have no love for the task.

I think the real taboo about it comes from the "comfortableness" of ugly. I'm completely into clothing optional for all those hot looking people out there but I freely admit that there are some SCARY people I'd rather avoid when clothing is optional. Here at home clothing is optional but I must admit more work gets done when the clothes stay on. Usually. As for procrastination, I'm in that hellish pit and for weeks now.

Makes me think of a really nervous person who can't cope with anything. By the way, I love Wikipedia and reference it from time-to-time. I find it very insightful and usually correct.

I'm very organized and <em>try</em> to keep the house clean, it's the jobs that need to be done that get me; like unpacking the boxes stored in my garage or installing childproof cabinet locks. I find what helps me when I feel bad because I'm procrastinating is to drink beer, because then I don't care anymore! :) I struggle with procrastinating when it comes to house work.

I too tend to procrastinate on things. The slouching is horrible too. At work I have gotten into the habit of forcing my chair as close as my body will let me in an effort to keep from slouching. It's working, and I do indeed notice a huge difference in my mood. Now, if I could just force myself to do this at home! Very good tips. I too tend to procrastinate on things.

I'll have to see if I can find it and get back to you on that one.

I installed it... uh... and haven't gotten around to actually trying it yet. Saw a review though (Freelance Switch?) and it sounded awesome. @ Christine - I've read several times that procrastination is really a myth and doesn't exist as a problem per se, because the problem is really something else entirely and we just use the P-word as a nicer label. @ Catherine – Yeah, it does.
