Procrastination!

 

We all do it, if you do not then bless your heart. As my statistics professor once said, “You can procrastinate and still be successful”. She has a PhD, so I am going to take her word for it.

 

So, here are ways you can try to be productive while being unproductive. Emphasis on try because these are not generally productive. They are a good way to pass time and not feel bad bad about it, for the most part.

 

 

1. Online Shopping

 

2. Pinterest

 

3. Looking at pictures of puppies, you can never go wrong with puppies

 

4. More puppies and maybe cats too

 

5. Clean your room

 

6. Do laundry

 

7. Do this dishes

 

8. Workout

 

9. Or think about working out

 

10. Take a long, long nap, you have earned it

 

11. DO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THE WORM HOLE OF A NEW SHOW ON NETFLIX. DO NOT DO IT!!!!

 

12. Seriously! Do not do it

 

13. Well… At least there was resistance

 

14. Get food

 

15. Better yet, cook food

 

16. Remember the amount of work you have to do. Laugh about it and still do not it.

 

17. Ask your friends if they are procrastinating too

 

18. Are they? Have a procrastination/pretend study party

 

19. Watch productive Youtube videos like, “Learning to Save a Life with CPR.”

 

20. Try to ignore your recommended videos to watch

 

21. Then proceed to watch your recommended videos

 

22. You need more food, so get more food

 

23. Complain about  how stressed college is making you

 

24. Give up

 

25. Realize you cannot give up because college is expensive

 

26. Quit college and move to Europe

 

27. Wait! You are still broke

 

28. Realize that you just wasted hours while you could have finished your work.

 

29. Not lose hope and still try to get the work done

 

30. Accept the fate
