Man: Can't face the Beekman project either, I see! Cathy: I am not putting off the Beekman project. I'm doing the project that was due before Beekman. This one wasn't done because I was doing what was due before it was due. Before that I was doing what was due before that...and before that...and before that....I don't procrastinate. I pre-crastinate.

“Precrastinate” would mean the same thing as “procrastinate”, Cathy. I think the neologism you’re looking for is “epicrastinate”

Never procrastinate tomorrow what you can procrastinate today.

There are consequences to procrastinating.

Nope. I am crastinating just does not have the right ring to it. Yes, summerdog there are consequences to procrastinating but are they as severe as the ones for precrastinating and epicratinating?
I will admit I am guilty of procrastinating today. I did not go out to plow the driveway – mainly because the snow has not stopped falling and drifting yet. I hope everyone had a great day today and is looking forward to a tomorrow without pro, pre, and epi crastinating.

We’re digging out too, hendelca….my husband did not procrastinate today because our snow was set to be followed by freezing rain.

It’s a vicious cycle, isn’t it, Cathy? Maybe rolling your eyes would help—like I did (big time) on this one.
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
