I'm sort of busy, but maybe I'll get around to it. Ok, let's face it, everyone saying "I'll tell you later..." isn't all that funny.

I'm a short-sighted moron who sacrifices long-term satisfaction for immediate short-term satisfaction.

1.)I'm lazy
2.)I have more fun things to do.
3.)Work is boring.
4.)I hate The Man.

Heh. I only have four reasons. Sorry.

P.S. Saying "I'll write this tomorrow." is not witty. It's old. It's been done about a hundred times.

1) I'm basically lazy.
2) I'm tired.
3) I'm waiting for the price to go down.
4) I'm waiting for the price to go up.
5) I don't like crowds.
6) I've never been much of a "joiner".
7) Because "fools rush in" is more than a truism.
8) I enjoy being fashionably late.
9) I don't want to go off half-cocked.
10) Because the last one left standing wins.

Oh crap. I forgot. I'm dyslexic. Tell you what, I'll explain later.

Well, I am always learning more, so if I do it tomorrow then I will be more prepared than I was today.

Short answer? Lazy.

Long answer? Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.

Too lazy, in fact, to add any more reasons.

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.

I procrastinate because I don't like doing things that have a deadline/goal, or whatnot. It's more fun doing things that are pointless and would in no way contribute to my life constructively, such as this forum. I also get distracted easily by shiny things, like that harmonica next to my laptop

It's more fun. And it gets on the nerves of the productivity freaks and workaholics. :p

Laziness. That & it's much more fun to play GT4 on the PS, than it is to do sort out my superannuation, etc.

The Procrastinator's Creed

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/wait/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.
