Procrastination 101

Folks, the light of the knowledge inside me is exploding and it's about time I share it with you guys since the elections are approaching or whatever..you must have read a lot of articles about how to procrastinate or how to not procrastinate. But I present you my very own knowledge on how to cope with a spouse who is a procrastinator..you are welcome!

1>First of all, I think the term procrastination should be changed to something neater because the word procrastination makes me want to procrastinate writing this blog somehow..

2>It is not easy to spot people who suffer from procrastination...even if you live with them..so here are some common traits-
    1> They are often soft spoken people
    2> They smile a lot..sometimes it is disturbing why would they smile when they are a number of reasons to get upset about..
    3> They might even have a halo if you look closely..because they think that things fall into place..we should let things happen..and they are right. This world is run mostly by people called un-procrastinators..
    4> They often say "I just want to make a right decision". This is are the most cunning variety of procrastinators my friends..beware..

3> Once you understand that the person is a procrastinator, please do not hold back. It's scary to admit I know..but better late than never..arrange for intervention....do not procrastinate about that..

4> Join a group..The procrastination daily meetings are held at my house every night at 9 PM. If you can not make it, start your own chapter..and NO yelling..so not nice..remember procrastination is a chronic condition guys..breathe..if that does not work..Y.E.L.L.

5> Find a coping mechanism..shopping works for the most part. Or Yoga..and remember just thinking about doing Yoga is as good as actually doing Yoga..or blog..

6> Gender matters. According to the most recent study conducted by the IHaveALotOfTimeToKill group, women are mostly affected by spouses suffering from procrastination. The group belives that the study holds true in all countries until some other group conducts similar studies and proves it wrong that is..

7> Call hotline 1-800-D.E.A.R.S.A.N.G.E.E.T.A.P.L.E.A.S.E.H.E.L.P.M.E. and leave a voicemail..we are there for you 3 hours a day 3 days a week..please keep it to the point. remember blogging is for your ranting..

8> Last but very important, procrastination is highly contagious..So you have to test your immunity often..for example - if you bring ice cream and it remains in the freezer for more than a week, I would say you are showing early signs of procrastination.

Oh you are so welcome!
