Newspaper Summary by: hashima    


If you put off doing some thing for long enough , there may eventually come a time when ther;s no longer any pressing need
for that particuler thing to be done. this is the holy grail -out of -jail free card, the prize trophy and the jackpot all rolled into one for every dawdler loafer, and idler. but this happy occurence comes only if you are willing to take procrastination to its limites.
I used to think i was the only one to creae an extreme sport of sorts out deleying a deadline,the pressure mounting, the adrenaline pumping and the sweat pouring... but now i know better .Being older and wiser i have come to realise that ther are a comforting number of people just like me.
But for those with a chronic tendency to put off till tomorrow what could be done today, there's a price to pay. Oh yes, repent at leisure for those lost opportunities, those unachieved goals , those unlived dreams ... not to mentioin the complete lack of progress in any direction.
On th eother hand,ther are two distinc type of procrastinator. There are the productive procrastinatores and then there are those that are plain bone-idle.
The productive ones ,when faced with some tedious or monumental chore ,tend to turns to another previously insurmountable task such as overhauling their car engine or spring -cleaning their house with grat guesto. While those that lean more to the bone-idle camp have in some cases been known to read the nearest telephone directory from cover to cover to avoid work of any kind.And who among us poor sinners will not confess to drawing up schedules and creating never -ending lists of things to do in an effort to seem as if we're doing them while actually not doing them.
But, whatever our own particuler delaying tactics may be,we all do it. Everyone dillies or dallies at some point.I don;t know about birds, bees,or educated fleas... but people do it, organization do it,even goverments of countries do it. We all do it ,we all let things slide . And we do it to agreater or lesser extent depending on the price we're willing to pay- personal dissolution, institutional collaps,or a nation in ruins.
