Wish-tee #1: I Wish Procrastination Was a Marketable Skill

Procrastination… Here we go again. We have come to endless ways to kick the bad habit. And thanks to Facebook (oh yeah this website is currently on my #1 list), Twitter, MySpace, Internet Messenger, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. it’s even harder get ourselves back on scheduled tasks.

Recent study shows that almost everyone occasionally procrastinates, but a worrisome 15 to 20 percent of adults routinely set aside activities that would be better accomplished right away — yes, believe it or not.

Now, that makes me think that most of us could major in the subject, if only it was worth credit or maybe — just like what this slogan Twitter-Threadless tee ($18) says — there’s another part in this galaxy where procrastination is a marketable skill in a workplace.

But you all know the reality. Most of us are only good at finding another reason to procrastinate. Maybe clicking through this blog is your procrastination strategy for this morning. What are other procrastinate strategies you can think of?
