Do you think patience and procrastination go hand in hand?

[TheSpaceGnome]

I do.
Every patient person I know is a huge procrastinator, and the only go getter types tend to be impatient and driven.

[TurningGraves]

I’m the biggest procrastinator and I’m always impatient because I’d rather be doing something I find fun than doing whatever it is I’m waiting on.

[TheSpaceGnome]

"I’d rather be doing something I find fun than doing whatever it is I’m waiting on."

Thats another topic entirely. Procrastination is when you are the one delaying a task you want done, not when you are waiting on something else or someone else to finish something you aren't interested in.

[TheSpaceGnome]

nevermind, read it wrong, half awake atm.

[TurningGraves]

That’s not the point.

Procrastination comes from a desire to do things that you enjoy rather than doing something you find boring. Most procrastinators would hate being patient because they’d rather do something they enjoy instead.

If we are assuming they can do as they please while being patient, then sure, they wouldn’t mind it, but that’s usually not the case.

[TurningGraves]

Oh, okay.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I have a lot of friends who genuinely want to have, do, or acomplish things, but instead of doing them, they just complain they aren't happy yet, and put it off forever, simply because they think it's ok to have to wait "a bit longer" to get what they want, so I can't agree with your definition of procrastination.

[TurningGraves]

Nah, those people just don’t want it enough.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Well they sure do constantly talk about wanting it, so I doubt thats the case.

[Juxtapose]

I have been told I am insanely patient and it's true! It is also true that I procrastinate, but not past deadlines.

I am not an ambitious person that rushes around, I just want to laze around in a woman's arms while swinging on a hammock.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm the reverse, I'm very ambitious, impatient, and like to be busy, but most of the people I know are like you.

Nope
