The no testing at C/R rule is a good one. Which is why I am not entering a car even though I would like to. I have

an unfair advantage since I was building these cars before the proxy idea was announced. I spent too much time

developing the bodies and chassis before any one else had the kits. I would love to be a driver, though.

Yes, how is everyone doing ?

 

As soon as I get a few more cars, maybe we'll have our first race, and it

will inspire the rest of the guys to get their cars done.

 What trust? He's keeping you occupied. We pay him extra to do that.

I say, let's race with what we got !

Evidently, the procrastinators have all found better things to do.

Including farming out work to people who don't even have the time to build. 

Even if you gave them another month, they would still need "another month "  ^_^

Paul

 

Is clear considered a fantasy color?

 

 

 

Evidently, the procrastinators have all found better things to do.

 

 

That is the only reason to ....

 

Procrastination refers to the act of replacing more urgent actions with tasks less urgent, or doing something from which one derives enjoyment, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time. In accordance with Freud, the pleasure principle may be responsible for procrastination; humans prefer avoiding negative emotions.......

 

Hans Eysenck defined the three-factor solution with Neuroticism, Extraversion and Psychoticism. Costa & McCrae, among others, championed the five-factor model: Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness to Experience and Extraversion (CANOE).

 

In addition, one of the most recent papers that addresses personality traits and procrastination by Dong-gwi Lee, Kevin Kelly and Jodi Edwards (Purdue University), begins to address the relation among personality traits. Although it is beyond the scope of this blog to explain their work with structural equation modeling, I can summarize their findings by noting that their results support Clarry Lay's argument that Conscientiousness is a higher-order trait that is likely to influence trait (chronic) procrastination.
