Your know you are a procrastinator if:

1. You believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. You never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. You never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. You  meet all of your deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury you expect to receive from missing them.

5. You firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from your obligations.

6. You truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7. You never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.

8. You always decide not to decide, unless of course you decide to change my mind.

9. You always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when you get around to it.

10. You obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

11. You know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

12. You will never put off until tomorrow, what you can forget about forever.
