Peter McDougall
Peter McDougall is widely recognized as one of the most notorious procrastinators of our time. Although the term procrastination is typically associated with laziness, Peter has elevated it to an art form.
Born in a small town in rural Kansas, Peter showed an early talent for putting things off until the last possible moment. His first grade teacher was shocked when he turned in a project on dinosaurs six weeks after it was due. But as Peter grew older, his procrastination skills became more refined.
In college, Peter was the only student who could consistently turn in a 20-page research paper on a topic he knew nothing about, just hours before it was due. His classmates were in awe of his ability to work under pressure, but Peter always assured them it was just his natural talent.
After graduation, Peter landed a job as a freelance writer. His clients loved his ability to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality. In fact, Peter’s work became so popular that he was able to raise his rates and take on even more projects.
But Peter’s greatest accomplishment came one fateful day when he found himself locked out of his apartment with a manuscript due to the publisher in just a few hours. Without a second thought, Peter rushed to the nearest coffee shop and spent the next three hours typing away on his laptop. When he finally made it to the publisher’s office, he was greeted with a standing ovation and a book deal.
To this day, Peter remains a legend in the world of procrastination. He continues to inspire procrastinators everywhere to embrace their laziness and turn it into a valuable skill. So the next time you find yourself putting something off until the last minute, just remember, you’re in good company with Peter McDougall.
