I'm not one of them.  Well, not completely.   In truth, I sort of am like one of them.  No, I really AM one of them...but, only with things I don't like doing or am not particularly good at.   Give me a day filled with things I enjoy (coaching, writing, teaching) and I'm 'on fire'.  The problem is I rarely, if ever, get a day that is completely one or the other.  As a result, I have been forced (against my own natural inclinations) to figure out how to manage my energy each day in an effective way to fight the procrastinator within. 

I think of myself as a connoisseur of procrastination, creative and dogged in my approach to not getting things done.

Susan Orlean
