Looking kind of smug there, limey -did you finish your task? I was about to start mine and then rememebered Tuesday was swim day. just got back from that...

OK I failed. The meeting I'm supposed to prepare these figures in plenty of time for, is in a few hours. And now it's time to rent a tardis for this evenings mom-taxi schedule

No. Not smug. At all.

A small translation job and some proofreading just queue-jumped, s'all :)

Tonight, I need to peel and chop 2 dozen pears and 1 dozen zucchini, and then start a batch of sauerkraut, and make a batch of cookies.

If I put any of it off until tomorrow, it's just going to get in the way of making 3 pounds of meatballs and 8 cups of veggie puree. And yet, it's looking very likely that I will put all of it off until tomorrow.

It's probably a good idea to put the cookies off anyway, because if I make them tonight I'll just eat half of them tonight as well.

Clodfobble--

Are you kiddos up to the task of peeling zucchini with a vegetable peeler? Maybe one with a bunny handle or something?

Yes, yes, I know at the inauguration of such a program the effort is INCREASED but in the long run there could be less work for you, not to mention the benefits of giving the kids something to live up to, etc. etc.

As for the cookies, I'll help. Eat them that is, I could totally finish off the other half for you. Ah, no thanks required, I'm happy to help.

I'm so glad this thread has come up again! It's just what I need!!

Glad to meet you, I've come up again this forum.. cube good here.. you can try to this... Thanks :D

In theory, Minifob might be up to it. It would only be possible on weekends though, since weekday evenings are 100% packed before they start getting ready for bed at 6:45, and bulk cooking is an everyday task around here. The 8 cups of veggie puree, for example, is for no one but Minifob, and it lasts him 2 days at most. A day and a half when he's hungry.

O am supposed to be cooking cornbread.
I only came up to do the temperature conversion for the oven.
It is not a chore - I'm cheating with a packet of Aunt Jemima's as it's too hot to really bake.

And yet I find myself pinned to the keyboard by the Cellar.

No. Must go. Will encroach on Mum and Dad's dinnertime otherwise, and will be poorly thought of.

One more thread.... Just one....

I got a new cap! Procrastination It keeps me busy

Procrastination in Relation to Immediate and Delayed Recall
 

"Past research generally defines procrastination in negative terms, often considering it self-regulatory failure. In sharp contrast to most literature on procrastination, Chu and Choi (2005) found that some procrastinators, referred to as active procrastinators, are able to use procrastination productively. Modeled in part after Chu and Choi’s (2005) research, this study focused on how active and passive procrastinators vary in self-efficacy for learning and memory ability. Results showed that non-procrastinators had significantly higher self-efficacy than procrastinators, both overall and on all subscales. Active procrastinators had significantly higher self-efficacy for studying than those low on active procrastination. Additionally, results suggested that active procrastinators may score higher on memory performance than those low on active procrastination (these results approached significance). Therefore, this study supports the existence of active procrastinators as a distinct subgroup, and future research could consider examining other traits that may be unique to active procrastinators."

Are they saying that "active procrastination" is another way to say "good time management skills?"

If you can't remember to do it later, it's not procrastination.

Read this. Later .....
