Technique 1: The "I'll Get Right on It"

Technique 2: The "I'm Almost Done"
This technique involves constantly telling people you're almost done with a task, project, or entire season of your life. It's a delicate balancing act between "I'll have it finished by the weekend" and "It's 99% done" but actually being nowhere near completion.
