Procrastinator's Creed

  1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
  2.  I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but wait/plan/plan.
  3.  I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
  4.  I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
  5.  I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
  6.  I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
  7.  If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
  8.  I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
  9. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
  10.  I will never put off tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
