Pay first or play first?

In general, do you usually pay first, or do you play now, pay later?

In case you're not sure what I mean--->Do you get your work done before you even consider doing anything recreational, or do you mess around doing whatever you feel like for as long as you can put off your work?

Play first!!! 70
Pay first!!! 36

    Pay first. I like to do my work first so I can fully enjoy myself later without the worry of doing my work.

    Play first. I wish it were not true, but I don't have the willpower to get myself actually working very often.

    Honestly, whatever I feel like doing, I do.

    • I like your name. I read that you are just doing it for laughs and not hate, so I don't have much of a problem with it.

      Have a good one, iHateItDuz.

        thanks, my account got deleted this morning though :(

        you are honestly one of the people i respect most here, if not THE person i respect most. i just want to brighten peoples days and do something a little different and i honestly didnt have a clue how you would take it when you saw my username and such. im glad you dont mind it, but if you were to ask me to delete the account, i would.

        take care now :)

        • It got deleted? I assure you that I had no play in that. I think it might of just had something to do with you having something along the lines of you hating another user in your name, that might not be why though. Perhaps the management just didn't see it as good for a user to make a parody name for another long-term user.

          That's why I didn't go in'a negative manner about your name, you seem to be doing it just for a laugh and not for hate, which isn't anything wrong to do in my eyes.

          You take care too.

    I rotate them if possible. I have the willpower to easily drop a recreational activity and return to working.

    I play first because I have a huge problem with procrastination. I'm working on it though. Hopefully if I saw this question in a couple months I would pick the other option...

    I do 50% of the play, then the pay then the other 50% of my play, so i couldnt really pick one of the poll answers

    If I played first, I know I won't pay at all. So I pay first. The play is the reward. :)

    I can't truly relax until work is done. It stress me out, hanging over my head and all around me.

    Really, work doesn't take long if you keep up on it. :) Easier not to stress over 5 minutes worth of dishes or 20 minutes of tidy up. Then it's ALL PLAY! Instead of suddenly having a full day project without play. :)

    I pay first. I would rather end my day with something fun.

    I seek play to avoid work and always regret it. Immediate gratification over eventual qualification.

    One half of my brain is aware of it, the other pretends not to listen. Unfortunately it's the other that controls the rest of my body :( Sometimes I think I'd benefit from an occasional dose of Ritalin...
