A likely story!

I'm in the sometimes category, and more often than in the past.

One example, I'll fold laundry, and leave it it the basket instead of putting it away immediately. Other things I put off as well, maybe because I have more important things to do with my time, or more "fun stuff" anyway.

I am in the process of refinishing some OEM NSX rims that were chrome, then rechromed right over some curb rash and chips. They are coming along. They will be bronze.

They should be done by 2015 or so.

That's one of the few things I am very methodical and orderly about, Lainey. I do my own laundry because I'm picky about it. It goes from the washer to the dryer and is then immediately hung or folded, as appropriate, and put away. Sometimes I'll let my socks sit for an hour or two before I get around to matching and rolling them and putting them away...from right to left in my sock drawer: footies, white socks, black, blue, brown, tan, unmatched.

Believe me, this is one of the few things I do in an orderly and timely fashion.

I meant to join the local chapter of the Procrastinator's Club, but I never got around to it.

I work for a Fortune 200 corporation. I once had a boss who was known for saying, "Procrastination pays." I cannot count the number of times edicts came down from above, only to be revoked or revised a couple of weeks later. Those who jumped right on the task wasted effort; those who procrastinated until the requirements were actually finalized came out way ahead.

to a large extent.

I have long stated that Ben Franklin had the saying "necessity is the mother of invention" slightly wrong. In Matt's world: "laziness is the mother of invention". As in there has to be a better way to do the task at hand.
