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.

Daily Check-ins

This forum is for check-ins or "book-ending" - a very effective strategy where you post a message committing to doing something for a specified length of time, then at the end of that length of time, come back and post a message reporting on what you did.

Welcome to this thread. Please, add no horrible pictures or any graphics in this message! In my humble opinion they have nothing to do with a 12-step recovery.

Goodmorning all!!!

As no one had started a thread for today, I thought I might as well go ahead and do so.

Today I am feeling a strong urge to procrastinate, perhaps because I have the day off. In any case, I have been reading the Big Book, which, although related to alcoholism, sheds light on the addictive nature of my problem with avoidance. Being affiliated with this program still relieves some of the inherent isolation associated with this addiction.

In any case, for today:

(X) Finish appl.
(X) Mail appl.
Call ins. comps.
(X) Call CC

Good morning, all.  Hope everyone's day is starting off well.

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

Wednesday, 5/30/07

This is the third day since I found this board and realized how extensive my procrastination problem really is. Avoiding discomfort, whether in the form of deadlines, distasteful tasks or conflict, has become a way of life. I truly believe I can honestly say the problem has become unmanageable–I have lost control of my procrastination.

Still, since I found this website & read the entries by other people like me, I really don’t feel so alone. I have firmly decided to work the 12-steps in my effort to address this issue. What I’m trying to embrace right now is the idea that a higher power could restore me to sanity where my time-wasting is concerned. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding this aspect of recovery?

Hi, I'm Thomas.

Because just about everyone on this list but not on the Pacific Coast has probably gone to bed (I don't know of anyone from Alaska or Hawaii on it), I have decided to start the Tuesday thread. It's 9:44 p.m. here in Sacramento, California, 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean, but it's already 4:44 a.m. in London--Rexroth will be getting up soon. If it's late at night here on the Left Coast, and I still want to post about something I'm avoiding, nobody will read it unless I start the next day's thread. If pro or anyone else says it's a bad idea, I won't do it again, but I thought I'd try it.
