In a rush.
Posted: September 26, 2006 Filed under: Uncategorized 4 Comments »This will be brief. Why? Because it appears that over the past several days and today included, I have left myself about 10 minutes combined to do what I want to do and about 4 hours combined to sleep. Arghhh. So I’m off to fight the DC traffic for a breakfast meeting.
Last night, I gave a speech at a dinner/fashion show event for charity. It was, I’m told, well received.
I wrote the speech on scrap paper in the hallway a few minutes before the event.
And it made me think. Because in college, some of my best papers were written after work (3:00 am) and before my first class (8:00 am) on the day they were due. And in my business life, some of the best proposals and presentations were put together with similar haste.
Am I just a procrastinator? Maybe so. But the truth is that I think about what I want to say from the minute I know it has to be done and then put it to paper (or screen) after it’s been molded. Maybe.
Maybe I’m just a slacker.
Oh, fess up. You just love being able to do things at the last minute and do a great job too! Grace under pressure, that’s it.
i believe this is the best excuse for procrastinator everywhere. i have been known to rush things at the last minute, too.
i blame my brilliance.
Ha! This is brilliant; many thanks from a full-blown procrastinator.
I’d like to have heard your speech; no chance anyone You-Tubed it?
yep, i procrastinate too. i mean, if it weren’t for the last minute, i’d never get anything done!
