I have been procrastinating on two reports for weeks. People are starting to get a bit angry with me. Today I really need to finish. Do you think I will? If so, when?
I am a fast writer and all the materials are here in my office. The reports are about 4 pages each. Closest wins best answer. Be warned: last time I did this, I did not finish the task :( but I did choose the best answer of the person who said I would not finish!
I'll let you know the outcome when I post the best answer.

OK -- I finished the first one and it's 6:18 p.m. EST. I'm going to try to start the second report!!!

News! I finished the second one -- at 7:40 p.m. Therefore it took me just over two hours to complete something I've been dreading for weeks on end. I feel really stupid now because I risked so much goodwill with the recipients of the reports just becuase I couldn't kick myself in the rear to get started. Still, I'm relieved they are off my mind -- until there is a question about the content (groan.....).
Thanks to those of you who for some reason believed I could do it. It really did help!

I say you finish before you leave for work. I'm thinking positive. You could be someone like myself that works best under pressure. Even if you have to stay a little bit after work you will do it. You want that feeling of accomplishment.

1:00 AM your time.
Words for the Procrastinator to live by: (I know!)
Never do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
I work better under pressure.
I know it's going to be pain so I always put it off as long as I can.
It's amazing how fast I am when I want to be.
When I get started, words just fly onto the paper. (Thank god for spell checker.)
If I think of this as a contest instead of an assignment, I bet I can do it in half the time.
If it gets done on time, people will expect me to do it that way all the time. I hate being stereotyped as an organized person. First the reports, then my work area, then my house, then my garage, pretty soon I'd become a stressed out neat freak. I just couldn't do that to myself.

Well, we are in the same boat.......you are at work and so am I, but evidently we are not working on reports. So Good luck to you, I hope you finish those reports, but if not, let me know what excuse worked for you.

I think you will finish one by the time you leave work, assuming you leave at 6 pm.
If you keep coming here, you won't finish at all!

if you begin by 5 pm, you will finish by 10:30 pm.

I think that if you finish, you'll be up past midnight doing so.
