been done
already.
* 2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find
excuses.
* 3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
* 4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to
the amount
of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing
them.

technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve
from my obligations.
* 6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless
of the
amount of time given.
* 7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though
infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
* 8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
* 9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide
to
change my mind.
* 10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step,
and/or
write the first word, when I get around to it.

greater the
task to be done, the more insignificant the work that
must be done prior
to beginning the greater task.
* 12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but
is
wait/plan/plan.

forever.

Turtles (the
Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.
