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.

Monday 4 June 2007

In forty minutes it will be Monday. I do not want to procrastinate in opening a thread for tomorrow because it is more nice to get up if the thread is ready. I hate opening new threads when I am in a hurry in the mornings. I would rather open at once seven threads for the whole week. What do you think about this?
-------------------------------
I think it's a bad idea to open seven threads at once. The threads for future days will scroll off the "Active forum topics" list so people can't find them, and will end up starting new threads anyway. So then we'd end up with a lot of blank, orphan threads. Please don't open threads for an entire week at once. -pro

pro's first check-in - 6:40am

I'm packing up to go out of town today (with computer). I have to attend a work retreat - it's mandatory. I'm absolutely dreading this. It's a week of my time 24/7 (not fair!), plus I have to share a hotel room with a stranger. I'm very unhappy.
