For some, it's a deadly black hole, but for others, it's their go-to method for getting things done. Procrastination, folks. Is it an art form or a waste of time? A blessing or a curse? I'm here to introduce you to the art of productive procrastination, or in other words, Procrastination 2.0. Follow these steps and you'll have a fool-proof guide to procrastinating your life away.
1. To avoid writing that paper, clean your room.
During this point in the semester, most college students' rooms look like a tornado has blown through. Do yourself a favor and spend an hour or three cleaning your room. Then send a picture to your mom.
2. Take a long, hot shower.
So relaxing, and you'll smell nice after!
3. Research future career aspirations.
Look up grad schools. See what score you need to get on the MCAT to go to Stanford. Or just plan out your classes for the next couple of years... It's always good to think about the future right?
4. Forget that reading that's due tomorrow. Do your laundry instead.
Your peers will appreciate you showing up to class in clean clothes rather than you showing up in the same flannel you wore three days ago with ketchup on it.
5. To give yourself motivation to study, watch videos of corgis.
6. Change your sheets.
Honestly, there's nothing better than crawling into bed with clean sheets. And putting that fitted sheet on your bed doubles as your daily workout.
7. Read a book for pleasure that isn't in your class syllabus.
Look how content that cat looks. Plus, you're enriching your mind with literature that you want to read.
8. If all else fails, Netflix.
Finish that season of your favorite show. Or start Grey's Anatomy again if you're up for the challenge.
Productive procrastination is the best way to survive college. Carry on friends.
