Top 20 Things to Do While Procrastinating Work

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northeastern chapter.

1. Go to Stetson East and get some of those unreal cookies.

2.     Take a “little break” and watch Netflix for a couple episodes of your favorite show (so, like, four hours of SVU).

3.     Search endlessly for different co-ops that you could possibly do.

4. Do laundry – it has the potential to be more entertaining than that 80-page reading.

 

5.     Go to Rebecca’s Café and stand in the crazy long lines for a sandwich – that will surely take up enough time.

6.     Visit Starbucks because all that caffeine will help you focus on your work.

7.     Take a nap.

8.     Stress clean.

9. Clean your closet. I know it sounds like a daunting task, but why keep that shirt you’ll never wear?

10. Now that you’ve made room for new stuff, indulge in some retail therapy and online shop!

11. Google search random things that you have always wanted to know.

 

12. Text your friends and ask if they have started the assignment yet. If they have, laugh; if they haven’t, then at least you aren’t the only one.

13. Write down a list of everything you have to do and then just tear it up.

14. Watch reality TV.

15. Dance it out.

16. People-watch in one of the quads – at Northeastern there is always something to see.

17. Check Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.…

18. Take a shower.

19. Have a panic attack because you’ve realized it’s 10 pm on Sunday and that essay is due at 8 am.

20. Decide you’ll work on it later and catch up on a nice dose of Her Campus.
