The 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 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 small, is not exactly zero.
  • If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
  • 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 shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
  • I obey the law of inverse excuses: The greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
  • I will become a member of the ancient and venerable Procrastinator's Society if they ever get around to getting it organized.
