Have you ever procrastinated yourself out of a job, or something else important like that?

I always push things off until the last second, and sometimes past it. I’ll always do the fun stuff up until I have to do the boring stuff. I don’t want to do fun things for a job, because I’m convinced that having deadlines would take all the fun out of it. Sometimes I worry at myself, and keep saying I ought to be doing that, but I don’t listen to that voice much.

I’ve always managed to avoid serious consequences from procrastination, and have come to view deadlines as a kind of advisory thing. But maybe you have procrastinated too much? What happened?
