Name: Procrastinatus
Country: Roman Britain
Finally got around to: Fixing the under floor heating
Story: A long time ago, in Roman Britain...
Procrastinatus
was a Roman,who lived in Britain some two thousand years ago.
Although many things were different with life in those times,
Procrastinatus had one thing in common with many of us today
- he liked to put things off. "Why do it today, when it
can be done tomorrow?", he asked. There was one particular
task which Procrastinatus would not do for several years, much
to the distress of his wife - fix the under-floor heating. In
fact, after a couple of freezing winters, she was so fed up she
was ready to pack her bags and return to Rome. Finally, Procrastinatus
saw sense and repaired the heating system. His wife was so pleased
she had a special, round, bronze plaque commissioned to thank
him for finally getting around to it.

Name: Queen Neffatuit
Country: Egypt
Finally got around to: Building a pyramid
Story: A long time ago, in ancient Egypt
Procrastination
is not a modern problem - even in the time of the Pharaohs in
ancient Egypt, people found it hard to get things done.
Take Queen Neffatuit, for example. She would put off even the
most trivial of tasks, but the great Pyramid of Neffatuit must
be her most famous legacy.
Such was the concern at the time that the great pyramid would
not be completed, a beautiful gold plaque was crafted and given
to her for her 40th birthday. This round Tuit was
a sign from her people and her son, Tuitkharmen, that she needed
to pull her finger out and finish the project. The completed
pyramid stands as a reminder to all that procrastination can
affect us all - but can be overcome with the right help.
Over 3,000 years later, the gold round Tuit that
had been presented to Queen Neffatuit was discovered in a hidden
tomb at the Valley Of The Kings.
