We all know the feeling. Your alarm is going off and you just want to keep sleeping. The snooze button is made specifically for this purpose. However, if you press that button, you are instantly applying a label to yourself.
That's right:
There are two people
In this world: Those who press snooze
And those who do not
Those who press snooze are the procrastinators in our society. Those extra 15 minutes of sleep are not going to get you to REM and will ultimately really not gain anything from that time except for the satisfaction gained from procrastination (which, admittedly, is quite a lot). The ones who do not press snooze are our more diligent society members (Anticrastinators? Concrastinators? Why there is no such word is a mystery to me). That's not to say that this is a fulproof method of labeling. Yours truly, for instance, does not press the snooze button and yet I still find my own means of procrastination. Ok, so maybe this isn't exactly a good way to label, but snoozing is still procrastination, and there are still those two types of people in the world. Well, plus those without alarm clocks, so three types really.
Wow this was a fail labeling attempt. And by attempt I mean not an attempt because I don't label. Well, except for my blog posts, I label those. And some people.
