Procratination

Ok, so we all do this from time to time – Procrastinate. I am doing it right now by writing this blog, instead of writing the essay I really should be concentrating on. So, instead of beating myself up about it, I will give you a list of some of my favourite procrastination pastimes.

1. Wash, scrub and properly clean your bathroom. Yes, really! This excersise in procrastination takes the edge off the guilt you feel, because you really are doing something useful.
2. Write A List. This also works with organising your date book/ schedule. It is a fantastic way to use up excess energy and feel like you are making your life easier. The best way to really reap the benefits of this particular procrastination technique is to add simple things to your list like eat lunch or take out the rubbish, this will allow you to cross things off your list and make you feel like you achieved something today.
3. Turn On The Washing Machine. The idea behind this is that if the washing machine is working, so are you. Therefore feel free to do absolutely nothing and still feel like you have done a good days work.
4. Multitask. When you are multitasking there just isn't time to do what ever it is that you should be doing.
5. Organise. My favourite thing to organise when I am procrastinating is my bookshelf. It becomes a fun creative way to use your time and also kinda makes you feel smart, like the knowledge in those books would seem in to your brain via your skin. Try sorting your books by say colour or the authors political beliefs or by cover design. There is always the normal alphabetical route but that just gets the job done in no time and takes most of the fun out of the whole project.

Ok, so thats me done with one of the things off my list. Now, it is time to get that washing machine working for its rent.
