Procrastinator

Hey, I resemble that remark! Yes, I'm a horrible procrastinator. I'm supposed to be working on an estimate due tomorrow, and I've had the blueprint all week. For some reason, I think I work better under pressure. The only reason there's a time constraint is because I've created one for myself. I waste all this time beforehand, and put my nose to the grindstone at the last possible minute. I've tried it the other way, jump on it right away, and then waste a bunch of time afterwards, and I feel like I don't know what to do with all this 'extra' time. And if I'm wasting time just floundering for something to do, I feel unproductive. When I waste time ahead of a deadline, I've usually found some distraction to occupy time, and then I don't feel so bad, because I've been engaged in something that obviously interested me. It may not have been productive, but I've indulged a selfish curiosity, and in my feeble mind, that seems plausible. For instance, sitting at a computer, typing a blog of all things, just to amuse myself, is not only a waste of time, but completely unproductive and irresponsible, when there is work to do and projects to finish. Unfortunately, my conscience doesn't gnaw at me enough to change my habitual procrastination. Maybe I need a coach to prod me in the manner in which I should utilize time. Is there such a personal life, time control, trainer? Even if I could afford something as frivolous as that, I would probably frustrate the individual trying to maximize my productivity, and minimize my time wasted. Apparently, I've been told I have a mind of my own (that's the kind way to say, "pigheaded"), and refuse to do something I've been told to do, or else. If I'm asked, no problem. If I'm strong armed, there's going to be a delay. Looking on the bright side, when I'm finally in the correct mindset, and my brain engages my hand, I stick with it until I'm finished. I don't like loose ends, they waste my time:) I should probably wrap this up and get to the task at hand. But first, a cookie.
