I’m a writer, and most of the time a freelance one. That means I’m really good at one thing. Like truly excellent, Michael Jordan levels of dominance. It’s something that I started building my skills at when I was a wee little grade schooler. Something I honed my craft at as an awkward teenager. Something I nearly perfected as an inebriated college student. Something that I finally mastered as a (mostly, when I can afford to be) self employed creative. Yes, that something is procrastination and, clearly, I’ve already demonstrated some of my skills by taking this long to introduce it.
Will, I read this wonderful posit of yours several days ago and I procrastinated in commenting, I'm now commenting but it took me so long to certify the fact that I could respond, I put it off until after I ate dinner. Then I realized I needed to pack my gear for tomorrow's assignment tonight in order to sleep in an extra 15 minutes, attempting to delay my departure for Santa Clarita, leaving my reply to you that much later than intended? Do I suffer from the same malaise? Thank you so very much for penning this and making me realize that "Hi, I'm Cliff and I'm a procrastinator ." Keep writing...sooner than later.
Your buddy John seemed to perform better when he had procrastinated on a school project and was under time pressure. Doesn’t seem like an enjoyable strategy - but it seemed to work , at least with schoolwork
Delightful essay! Wait until you discover the soothing zen bliss of ironing. Put on some music or a rewatchable movie and BAM, two hours gone by easily! Plus you got some crisp shirts available when you want to step out for some exterior procrastination.

I’m a stall till you fall BABY
Hmmmm... I wonder which set of genetics encouraged that behavior 🤫
Good one Will. You know which one I am and I don’t know why it didn’t rub off on you!
