Okay, I am the queen of procrastination. I admit it. And probably because I am so good at it (I once took an independent study course in college and I had ALL semester to write the paper and I wrote it the night before it was due and had to have my friend Michelle help me type it at three in the morning because I would never have finished on time - and I got an A) I do it stil, even though I know better.
So I have a meeting today at the Smidgits office to go over the budget for the Vegas show (yes, I did finish the script on tim last week). And I told Kelly I would take a pass at writing a replacement sketch for one he wasn't too happy with. It's one he wrote but he wants something different so I said I'd try it. The meeting is at one, it's now eight-thirty and I haven't done a thing. Oh, I'll get it done. And it's just a short sketch and I know the bones of what I want to write. But have I done it? No. Why? Because I'm a lazy procrastinator, that's why.
One of the things I knew I'd have to do when I quit my job to write full time was really be disciplined and I haven't done that. I have used every excuse (some more legitimate than others) and I haven't done what I really needed to do which was really make sure I did what I needed to do and not get sidetracked. Well, blast it, I get side tracked all the time. So that's it, no more pussyfooting around, it's time to get uber-serious and get to work.
I have a new schedule and I'm going to stick to it. I need you, my loyal readers, to help me crack the whip. Keep me on task and make me accountable for my work. Please. I'm asking because if I don't I won't accomplish my goals and then I'll have done it all for nothing. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Okay, now I have to go write a Smidgit sketch so I can turn it in on time today. I'm turning over a new leaf. Today. Or maybe tomorrow. Monday at the latest. Yeah, Monday. Monday's good. Wait, am I doing something on Monday....

I'll give you what support and help I can. But being a dues paying member of the Expert Procrastination League myself I don't know how much good it will do! Good luck!
Now stop reading your blog and get back to work!!
Perfect, that's exactly what I needed! (And it made me laugh, so bonus points for you!)
And I would have paid my dues to the Expert Procrastination League, but I keep putting it off.
(Tip your waitresses, I'll be here all week)
EPL Baby...Yeah!
I'm here for ya girl. I get sidetracked all the time. We can crack one another's whips.
I so need it, I am so lazy sometimes, which is weird because when I work for someone else I'm a real go-getter but when it's for me I'm a slug. Thanks Dyann!
