Youth Service Board r In By-Law Revision (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service & Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping- Procrastination") I've been putting off writing this column for several days, but decked I would finally try to write it. Why is it that som% people are illU to attack, a task directly and immediately, and others keep procrastinating until the last moment? I have been going through a very frustrating process recently, attempting to wade through an in­ credible bureaucratic maze of people who appear to make their living out of procrastinating. Last week I called a woman who happened to be out of her office I left a message for her to return my call, never suspecting that she actually would Later that day she did call back, and when I expressed surprise, she stated, "I always return my calls immediately". I discovered she is that rarity in the bureaucracy, the person who does things now. To some people, procrastination seems to be an unconscious expression of anger; a subtle way of getting even without getting mad To others, procrastination appears to be a way to handle stress, a kind of Scarlett O'Hara "I'll think about that tomorrow" attitude. Other people simply make too many commitments to themselves and others, and must put off some things in order to accomplish the higher priorities. In­ terestingly, it is only this last class of procrastinators that are even aware that they are procrastinating They also are very motivated to change because it is ex­ tremely uncomfortable for them If you are the latter type of procrastinator, it may be helpful to learn to say "no" to requests for your time, or at least allow yourself enough time to complete the task. Writing a list on paper is a marvelous way to plan your time, prioritize your work, and avoid procrastinations. You will end up getting more work done and avoid the "guilties" by not putting off Aati-Rost To keep fishhooks from rust­ ing when not in use, stick them in a cork and store the cork in a jar of baking soda.
