Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.
Faking It
I don't pretend not to be a procrastinator, but folks do tend to think that I'm not – and I do little to correct them, you see }:). I don't like lagging behind under public scrutiny, (don't you just hate it when people are judgmental?), so I pull my own weight and then some, and the resulting appreciation gives me a motivational high which eventually ends up with me getting burned out and overworked. Not the best policy, I know. I've actually been called a workaholic at one point! A lazy workaholic procrastinator! Bah! An oxymoron if ever I've seen one! Preposterous!

Me too
My name's Lark, and I'm a lazy workaholic procrastinatior. Gee, I don't like the color, don't like the style, but it fits! Thanks for giving me the smile.
going to extremes
That's a common characteristic of all procrastinators. Have you read the article on the site on "time bingeing"? Click the Articles button and scroll down.
re: pretending you're someone else
Sounds like "Fake it 'till you make it" to me. Which I haven't had much success with, but I think it's a pretty widespread strategy. Whatever works for you!
