RETIREMENT & Procrastination

I'm nowhere near able to retire, but my grandmother used to say "if you want something done assign it to a busy person".

nope. I have become sensitive to my own mortality and, as a result, have undertaken several prjects with timelines assigned. Im compiling a book now and Ive , since completing my initial outlines< gone and established dates for first completions of segments. Since much graphic input is reuired, I have been able to drop responsiblitiis on others to cpmplete these, after which I MUST write.

Also, Ive gotten really adept at making time for other interests in a fashion similar to the way I had to handle classes or projects during my work years.

Course, Im not fully retired either, I maintain about 3 client projects and have smiliar deadlines expected, but these are externally imposed.

I would make one hell of a barbecue chef cause I can complete the ribs, have the beans done, have coleslaw all done and chilled, and have several sides all ready to go. AND I could ring the dinner bell.

I guess Im still a type A

Yes, I 've heard that, GW

That 's very much to your credit, Farmer.
That 's wonderful; good for your mental self-discipline.
Some woud argue that it supports and preserves your mental health.
Some woud argue that it extends your somatic health and your life.

CONGRATULATIONS !

I've been basically fully retired since 2006, with the exception of a couple of stints of employment, to make extra money.

If one is living on a budget, one is limited to what one can do.

I'm still looking for a part time job, so these days, I'm calling myself "semi-retired".

Obviously longevity can only be assessed retrospectively

Good luck with that.

Has retirement affected your procrastination ?

Yes. Studies have been done (some on Catholic nuns)
that have indicated that mental exercise and its discpline has done so.

Good luck with that.

I used to accomplish much more when I was working and didn't have much free time.

UNDERSTOOD. That 's true of a lot of us.

Hmm, not really. With some things, like home maintenance, I was always a bit of a procratinator. The same with excercising.

Yes; those r important.

Well gosh, man, at our age the only other thing to put off is dinner. Time to man up and eat.

A clock for all you procrastinators...

Ok, now, that's funny.

I LOVE that, K; very zen.

Osso: your signature line makes me feel guilty
for correcting people, in support n defense of logic n sound reasoning.
