I can't be the only person who is always doing it?

I've had paperwork that I've needed to do for the last 4 months, and it needs to be in on Monday.

The stupid thing is, it would only take 5/10 minutes each time I needed to update it, compared to the 4 or 5 hours its going to take now.

I've done it pretty much my whole life, during school and college work would always be left to the last day.

Yes I am doing this thread instead of doing what I'm meant to be doing!

Can I be the first to post the inevitable "I'll reply to this thread a bit later" response?

It's taken me about 5 hours to create a slide to send to someone to explain they've fitted a part upside down. hehe

Always put off today that which will become someone else's responsibility tomorrow.

Always put it off till tomorrow and then hope someone else will do it anyway. If not that hope it eventually wont need done. If all else fails then last minute is same amount of time as this minute.

I can be guilty, I've needed to email somebody now for about 2 weeks, I kept saying to myself "I've got to do that, I'll do it tomorrow." It's been hanging over me for what seems like ages.

I sent the email about an hour ago, it took me literally 3 minutes to do rolleyes

If you do something today that can be done tomorrow, it only means that you'll have to do something else tomorrow that can be left to another day.

Procrastination FTW.

A friend at Uni always used to say "If you leave it until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do". T**t got a third.

Undeniably I am more likely than not to be less interesting; but I'm not bothered, so why are you?
