      There will be DIRE repercussions for putting it off.

    And perhaps the conclusion we can draw from my post and your comment thereto is that "Procrastination does not always result in not good outcomes---at least not immediately."

    (Yes I caught the "will be dire repercussions"---cute.)

    Yes, there have been times when my husband wanted to order things and I put it off for one reason or another. And we ended up not needing it or I found it for a better deal.

    I'm always trying to procrastinate, but I keep putting it off.

    Yes.  One time several years ago, the cat litter box in my house needed emptying.  I absolutely hated having to empty that thing, so I kept putting it off (yes the cats complained).  Yet, because of my procrastination, my dog discovered a new treat called "Kitty Roca".  Now, not only am I feeding the dog less food (a big money saver), but I also don't have to clean out the cat box anymore.    Who says procrastination doesn't pay?

    Yep.  Sometimes, if you put it off long enough, it resolves itself.  I have a "to do later" stack on my desk.  The "to do later stack" is a by-product of retirement.   It's amazing how much I never have to do because it resolved itself or the drop-dead date has passed.  Either way, it works out just fine.
