Procrastination Is The Key To Sanity

A friend of mine just said, "procrastination is the key to sanity."

Huh?

Hmmmm....

Well, maybe she's got something there.  Some things just need to be procrastinated.

The Obvious One Would Be Death.  Delay driving your car over that cliff.  You might just witness Something Spectacular.

Not so morbid?  Okay, here are some other fun things to procrastinate that WON'T get you into trouble with your boss or Jesus or your spouse or your parents or whomever (not in any particular order):
  1. Buying that incredibly expensive whatever thing that will go on sale next week.  Saving money is exhilarating (as I'll find out tomorrow, when I start saving my money).
  2. Beating your husband over the head with a baseball bat.  Who's gonna take out the trash if you do that?  Think about it.
  3. Getting sick.  Do that next week or something.  Too many fun things to do right now.
  4. Road-raging at the teenager driving the car that cut you off, nearly causing a five-car collision.  Especially when your kid's in the car with you.
  5. Having kids.  Love mine, but life would be easier if I graduated college first.
  6. Shooting the neighbor's cat for making pawprints on your clean car.  Cause there are kids watching.  And you'd have to clean up the bloody mess.  And if you had my luck, you'd miss and the bullet would ricochet and you'd shoot your own eye out.
  7. Eating broccoli.  Ewww.  All I can say is there has GOT to be some sort of medicinal use for that stuff that they haven't discovered yet, cause it COULDN'T have been meant for food!
  8. Sweeping your floor when your kid wants to read a book to you.  Priorities, people!
  9. Girls' Night Out when your hubby wants Family Fun Night In.
  10. Burning bridges.  You may need to take an alternate route one day.
See?  I'm not a raving lunatic.  I procrastinate violence.  Be nice today, go Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre tomorrow!  Cause after all, tomorrow is another day.

Maybe she's right.  Procrastination IS the key to sanity!

Just be careful what you procrastinate.
