I think it would have been funny if everyone had waited until the weekend to answer this poll. Oh well, missed opportunities.

Procrastination!
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The results of the survey will always be inaccurate. The real procrastinators would never have voted and the real people who get things done on time would be doing it instead of voting in this survey.

I used to be an Amateurcrastinator but I kept putting off working on it so now I'm a Procrastinator. 
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

A True Procrastinator will wait until next Saturday to post their reply, nearest midnight (or, nearest their bedtime).
This includes commenting on the survey, which is where I'll take the fall on this and comment now when there are so many other True Procrastinators *wanting* to post a comment of them being True Procrastinators, but, well, they're procrastinating!!
So, now ya know.

I clicked the question, my roommate asked me to help in the kitchen... I just had to click the "I was about to answer, but something came up" after that.
About procrastination... I sometimes procrastinate... I wouldn't say I do very often.

There are times I want to work on a project, but my subconscious makes me hesitate.
I've learned to listen to it. It is trying to tell me the immediate solution is not the best solution and that I need to think about it some more.
Not stare at it until I have a solution, but to somehow let the background processes mull it over while I do other things.
I generally find that when I do that, I come up with a much more elegant solution.
Sometimes I wake up and a new and novel solution is in the forefront of my mind.
I don't know how it works, it just does. Particularly on hard problems.

You do realise that the results of this survey will be heavily skewed because the true procrastinators will never have gotten around to completing it, right?

Now and never.
Once I figured that out, the rest is just deciding which it is going to be.
Sometime the now part is committing the task to a list, but it has to be done now or it will not be done.
For me it is really about knowing who is looking back at me in the mirror.

Like I was fighting with my self if do I bother to write this post
I am fighting with myself every early morning to get up and actually do something.
I am fighting with myself every evening to do not give up sleepiness and do some chores or something fun.
I am fighting with myself at work to stay productive and do not read CP
I am fighting with myself on vacation to do not lay half of the day and actually go outside and see some tourist attraction.
Yeah, I am lazy, but I am also smart enough to know that life is too short to do nothing so I am trying to do most with the time I have!

Maybe it doesn't count as real procrastination, but I frequently put things off because I know I've got to let them rattle around in my head some more. I get much better results that way than if I force myself to push ahead before I'm really ready.
I'm amazed at how much my subconscious can figure out on its own. I'll come back to something I was previously struggling with and find that it has become easy, or the answer to some question will pop into my head when I'm working on something else.

I agree with you, I wrote a post saying virtually the same thing.

I do this all the time especially if I start getting frustrated with a problem. It's much easier if it isn't a critical fix to come back to it with a clean train of thought. And sometimes a solution pops into my head while I'm sitting at home so I email it to myself for work the next day
