Five Ways I Procrastinate
April 4, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Normally, I am an organized person when it comes to balancing work and school but there are times I procrastinate and I put off something until the last minute. There are five ways that I procrastinate: surfing the internet, watching TV, running errands, reading a book, and taking a nap.
Surfing the internet- Whenever I want to procrastinate, I can always find something to look at one the internet. I frequently check Facebook and Twitter and there are times when I feel that both sites are a time waster. I also get caught up in reading my favorite blogs and time passes quickly.
Watching TV- Whenever I don’t want to do readings for school, I will always turn on the TV and start watching something. I tell myself that I’m just going to watch for 30 minutes and I end of watching for an hour or more which leaves me with less time to finish my readings. I always feel guilty about this so I try hard not to even turn on the TV.
Running errands- I normally run all of my errands on Sunday morning unless it’s something that I really need. However, I’ve started using this as a way to procrastinate. Instead of coming straight home after work and starting my studies, I will go grocery shopping or run to the post office just to kill time.
Reading a book- I have a lot of reading to do for class and yet I still love reading literature. There are times when I will come home and start reading a novel as opposed to my readings for school. While I enjoy the time spent with a good book that was time that I should have been working on school assignments.
Taking a nap- This is a huge one for me because I love to sleep. I could honestly take a nap just about anywhere. I tell myself that I’ll take a 30 minute nap and then I’ll get up and do work but that never happens. Usually I sleep past the 30 minutes even though I use an alarm clock and I don’t get any work done.
