The Five Stages of Procrastination

Five

Denial

"I have plenty of time--I'll get it done this weekend!"

Anger

"Dammit, it's way too nice out to stay inside and work--I'm outta here!"

Bargaining

"I'll get started as soon as I clean the house. How can I write surrounded by all this clutter?"

Depression

"Why did I ever say yes to this project? I'm an idiot."

Acceptance

(Sighs, sits down and opens laptop.)
