I've been procrastinating again so in interest of keeping my
deadline I decided to recycle a relevant post from my first blog; From
Yesterday's Tomorrow. In a way it grandfathered my earlier post on procrastination, though I had forgotten it at
the time.
"Calvin: You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes: What mood is that?
Calvin: Last-minute panic." — Bill Watterson
"It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. -Algernon" — Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays)
"If it
weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done." — Rita Mae Brown
"Never
postpone until tomorrow what you can postpone until the day
after." — Raoul Wallenberg (Letters and Dispatches 1924-1944)
"As a writer,
I need an enormous amount of time alone. Writing is 90 percent procrastination:
reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials. It's a
matter of doing everything you can to avoid writing, until it is about four in
the morning and you reach the point where you have to write. Having anybody
watching that or attempting to share it with me would be grisly."— Paul Rudnick
