Don't give up so easily, wozswoman! You've come to the right place, since visiting the forum is my absolute favorite avoid-the-report activity. As you have probably already learned, you can wile away hour after hour, reading post after post, about mundane topics for which you normally would not care a whit. It's amazing how they suddenly become must-reads!
If you're really lucky, you will also receive a few PMs! Unfortunately, as they say, with the good comes the bad, so try as you might, those pesky reports still loom.
Trust me though, at some important point, you'll realize enough is enough; I always do. You just have to get in the mood, right? Personally, I've found fear to be the perfect motivator.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
Yes, I do, too, but my bottle just ages a little longer than yours probably does.

If you are still wondering if you are alone in procrastinating, just look how the number of online users here jumps up in the late afternoon as does the number of posts between 3:30 and 8 pm
Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you. It's not pie.

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

Never really looked at the stats, but that is kind of funny! Back to the reports.. I'm going to make sure my butt stays planted in this location for the next two hours which is when a show I want to watch comes on.
I'm procrastinating as we speak. I only have 3 (out of 7 shops) left to report though. I did the other 4 while on the way to the other shops to cut the amount of time I would spend now writing up the reports.
Anyway, hang in there. Think of the money. Take a 10 minute break then come back to it. Always works for me.

I've been known to send an email asking if they want it good or if they want it on time Granted its when I at least have somewhat of a relationship with the scheduler or have done the shop before. The assignments are often those that had 24 hour turnarounds just a few years ago and now list 12 hours.

I set goals/rewards when difficult reports are due....letting myself get a latte after one report is done, getting lunch after another, a glass of wine on the next, catching up on a Netflix show when a narrative is completed, etc.
I would wait until the last minute on all of them if i didn't include food and wine as a bonus for completion
