Talk A Slacker's Rules

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable, regardless of the amount of time given.

6. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.

7. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

8. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

9. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

10. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

11. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

12. I will never put off until tomorrow what I can forget about forever.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

If at first you dont' succeed, try again... but then quit .. no need to be a damn fool about it

On of the docs here has this philosophy. He says if it is not important and no one will find out if you didn't do it, put it in the trash. If it can be delegated, then delegate it. If it can't be avoided, then set up a meeting and see how long you can delay it.

He has managed to get through a 15 year career as a medical administrator with this philosophy.

Cheers
Mick
