Nice quote, it should hang in every procastinator's room.

solid copper # 22. September 2008, 10:47

Yeah, even Ehsan washed his sheets today.

daxonmacs # 22. September 2008, 10:58

The end of a ( musky ) era.

noah counte # 22. September 2008, 13:14

I need to ponder this one for a while...

b_laudanum # 22. September 2008, 13:27

and I'm always letting things for tomorrow...

noah counte # 22. September 2008, 13:42

Me too, Bea! Maybe that's why our plans are perfect

solid copper # 22. September 2008, 13:59

First borns who are not the only child in the family tend to grow up to be a perfectionist and a procrastinator. The youngest ones who procrastinate are usually just lazy.

b_laudanum # 22. September 2008, 14:03

thank you Noah!! you make my day!!

b_laudanum # 22. September 2008, 14:04

I'm the youngest of 4... and I'm too lazy

noah counte # 22. September 2008, 14:26

I'm the oldest of three. My younger brother is the most industrious, by far. Our younger sister is the least. I think.

while general patton may have had a more important role in 'life' than i do, today i plan to be no more than the best i was yesturday. tomorrow i have to plan for today, maybe.

I think this quote makes most sense to procrastinators who deep down are also perfectionists although they may not immeditely recognize their tendencies and the connection.

noah counte # 23. September 2008, 13:14

We procastinating perfectionists are a conflicted lot.

b_laudanum # 23. September 2008, 13:17

I'm a lazy perfectionist

noah counte # 23. September 2008, 13:22

I'm perfecting laziness.

wickedlizard # 23. September 2008, 18:03

I am pretty lazy myself...

I love work, I could watch it all day...

daxonmacs # 23. September 2008, 18:04

passive activity eh?

solid copper # 23. September 2008, 18:08

We are all lazy around here, except 1bluebox who need to build up capital.

daxonmacs # 23. September 2008, 18:16

We all need to, tomorrow.

b_laudanum # 23. September 2008, 18:18

1bluebox # 23. September 2008, 18:29

oh i am a lazy lot myself, i just work like a dog to pay most of my bills

-- besides there is an art in being efficiently lazy. i like that comment isabel, "I love work, I could watch it all day..."

wickedlizard # 23. September 2008, 20:56

yep...

noah counte # 24. September 2008, 01:08

Hahah. Let me know when you get started, I'll pull up a chair, sip a on a tall glass of lemonade, and cheer you on!

1bluebox # 24. September 2008, 06:16

funny matt! you are going to watch me watch isabel watch work all day . . . . and solid thinks we're all crazy, because (opps, forgot what i was writing about!)

wickedlizard # 24. September 2008, 10:14

come on and pull up a lounge chair... here´s plenty of lemonade to go around. ooh... don´t forget your sunglasses - so you can catch some snooze time and no one notices....

daxonmacs # 24. September 2008, 10:23

Come, bring, catch, sounds like quite an active day.

solid copper # 24. September 2008, 10:55

Indeed, quite a flurry of activities. I mean who is going to make the lemonade and move chairs? All this time I was dreaming dreams in my bed.

wickedlizard # 24. September 2008, 11:40

fanning herself... I am exhausted from all that activity...

noah counte # 24. September 2008, 12:53

Haha. Deborah, if I watch Isabel directly, it's too much like actually working - it wears me out! If I watch you watch her work, I'm in the work derivatives market, which was, until last week, a much safer place for me to be.

wickedlizard # 24. September 2008, 13:31

i hurts to breathe...
