The Ten Commandments of a Real Worker

I have always seen this sign hanging in my aunt's house, so I finally decided to take a picture of it, and I will try my best to translate it for you.  It's basically ten rules or commandments for the procrastinator.


1.  One is born tired and lives to rest.
2. Love your bed like you love yourself.
3. Rest up during the day to prepare for sleep at night.
4.  If you see someone resting, help him.
5. Work is effort. (Not 100% sure about this one)
6. Don't do today what you can leave for tomorrow.
7. Do as little as you can and delegate what you have to do to others.
8. Too much rest never hurt anyone.
9.  If you feel the urge to work, sit down and wait until it passes.
10. If work is acknowledged, so is misfortune (not 100% sure of this either) 

Wow, those Italians really love their jobs, huh?

Words of Wisdom for the average procrastinator.

I am a horrible procrastinator. It took me a year to get the AC fixed on my car. I have yet to get a passport. I am probably a month behind on some work stuff. My endocrinologist says I should really get on an insulin pump, but I never went to an information session.

Still, I always find a little inspiration in the following quote, whose source I really can't remember right now,

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

So get 'er done, people, or you're not going to go anywhere.



Now I wish I would just listen to myself.

Naughty, naughty.

I'm posting this when I should be working, updating a report or something. I am so bad. I just can't get motivated.

You know that gross feeling you get when you eat a whole bag of Oreos by yourself? I'm not saying I've personally done that, but that's how I feel about not being productive. I don't even know what to do. This isn't a new thing for me.
