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