We all know a procrastinator. Truth be told, all of us procrastinate about one thing or another. But the life of a procrastinator – while appearing to be lackadaisical and unstructured – is actually an existence regulated by a strict code of ethics known as The Procrastinator’s Creed.
Take a look:
I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
I believe the only reason to move quickly is to avoid work.
I believe a lifetime of consideration is required before rushing into a job.
I believe that all deadlines are unreasonable, regardless of the amount of time given.
I believe, that if at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
I believe in deciding not to decide…unless I decide to change my mind, of course.
I believe in putting off till tomorrow…until I can forget about it forever.
I believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and the possibility of a reprieve from my obligations.
I believe being proactive and taking initiative is synonymous with “getting around to it.”
I believe procrastinators should take initiative, be more decisive, and work harder…tomorrow!
Comparing that philosophy of life to the wisdom of Proverbs reveals the folly of procrastination.
The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion on the road! Yes, I’m sure there’s a lion out there!” As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed. Lazy people take food in their hand but don’t even lift it to their mouth. Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors. (Proverbs 26:13-16)
