Far too much of this applies to me:

(Found via a comment on boingboing.)
Minor differences:
I manage the grocery shopping okay.
I manage to feed myself okay, even well, most of the time. (This can break down under pressure, though.)
I manage to keep the flat clean - if not my room. (I've never *tried* to clean the flat every day, though; neither have my flatmates. We do it once a week.)
I don't procrastinate as extremely, or at least haven't been, much, in the past three years or so. What I've done instead, in the past three years, was to focus on one or two big responsibilities at a time (finishing uni, looking for a job, doing my internships) and let everything else go completely to hell. Which, of course, was almost as bad as procrastinating, because it meant entire (crucial!) areas of my life (e.g. everything involving money or bureaucracy, as well as all social contact) would lie barren for months or years.
