I prefer an hourly schedule. You can not do more in a day that way. ---

I got up this morning with absolutely nothing to do. Does it count as procrastination, if by bedtime Im only half done? ---

Day 6 and a few hours from the OP talking about a whole week. I realize this is way early for the true pros, but a new leaf for me. Usually I wait until the deadline is way past and the warrant is issued and I get taken into custody by the sheriffs at work in front of everybody. What? Huh? TMI? ---

I have found, as a lifelong procrastinator, that doing one chore - just one - wipes the slate clean and you cannot be considered a procrastinator for the next 3 days. No, I meant **30** days. Or is it 3 months? 😕 ---
