never put off...

...til tomorrow what you can do today.

We've all heard it. I am just unsure of its value or application. People say that if you put things off, you are procrastinating.

Words like "progress" or "proactive" are viewed as positive. "Procrastination" is one of those "pro" words.
Why did it get a bad rap?

I wasn't planning on doing anything tomorrow, so I decided to not do it today. Just in case something came up and ruined my planned day of relaxing.

I look at that as being "proactive". It seems to me that I am doing some careful planning and exercising forethought.

Some people regard it as just being twice as lazy.
(I just don't seem to win on these judgmental issues.)

Sometimes, I forget that I wasn't going to do something and complete it. Then, I realize it later.
I've done that before.

It's a combination of procrastination, deja vu, and amnesia. I realize that previously I had forgot that I wasn't going to do that and there I'd done it again.

(I was thinking about posting that in lower case without punctuation.)
Do you think I am wrong here?

Life in corporate america has taught me that all that matters is the present. No need to plan for the future.

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting
If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Never put off that call to an old friend. I can tell you that it sux to get the call about their loss only to have been thinking of calling them but not taking the time or wanting to bother them.

You write some funny stuff, but I wouldn't think about putting it into a book, until tomorrow, if I were you.

No, just trying to sort some stuff out.

When I decide to put it into a book, I'm going to quote you guys. That way, I have plausible deniability.

I will probably use one of the general disclaimers, such as, "Oh Hell no, I'd never say that."

That's awesome... SO I guess the whole point of leaving it parked is just to prove how much of a procrastinator you are?! How many years have you had this site?
