Procrastination

{.. Have you ever heard friends or family members brag about how productive they were that day.. week... or month? Those people really bother me. And it's because I can never get anything done! it takes me a long time to accomplish the simplest of tasks recently.

i pride myself at the moment in being a grade A procrastinator. My three specific examples will help anyone perfect the arts of wasting time and procrastination. Then you can brag about how unproductive you were today!

Woot Woot

I am not a supper messy person.. people would say im far from it... in past days. But now-a-days i dont necessarily keep my room clean all the time. Many a time i have opted to put away my clothes, clean out the closet, make some lunch, and/or organize a few things. Doing all these activities takes a while, and i usually end up doing all of them on nights when i already have a lot to do. Any type of cleaning or household chore would work, though, such as scrubbing the shower, vacuuming, or dusting.

Another great way to waste time is to daydream. i can sit for 15 minutes or more before i realize that i should be doing something else. I usually think about something that happened that day and then imagine an alternate ending. Or i will imagine calling someone on the phone and play out the entire conversation in my head. Sometimes i look out the window and look at all the trees, clouds, cats, or even the grass outside. this is a great procrastination method when combined with a simple cleaning task, like cleaning the kitchen.

The best way to procrastinate is to interact with other people. That way you can lay part of the blame on someone else. "well Julie, a customer was talking to me and i couldnt just walk away and clean" i prefer to talk on the phone to friends who live in fresno. We usually dont talk that often, so when we do, we have to make it count. For those who dont want to spend a mountain of money on phone bills, any kind of messaging system on the internet is a great way to communicate. I prefer AIM Instant messanger. But if you dont feel like a lot of typing, just surfing the net can take a lot of time, especially if you have a slow modem. Then it can take what seems like forever to look at minimal number of site.

The main point to remember when procrastinating and wasting time is that you need to find something to do thats not important as what you really need to get done. Then you will be unproductive, procrastinating, time-wasting MASTER..}
