10 things I do to procrastinate

Definition Of Procrastination: I'll Tell You Later
EveryPixel

We're all guilty of procrastinating on some level. Some of us are better at it than others, and by better, I don't mean at overcoming procrastination, but at procrastinating. It takes a lot to do nothing. It also takes a lot to think back four hours earlier and try to remember why exactly you opened up your browser. A school assignment? Maybe. Pay your car insurance? Possibly, but you'll have to check your bank account first, and who really wants to do that? Oh, but wait. What if Netflix didn't get paid? Dear god, NOOOOO.

*Checks Netflix account instead of bank account to make sure it's still working, and then four hours later realizes it's been four hours later*

Shit, what was I supposed to be doing? Probably schoolwork. Let's just get this over with. Start up the laptop, open the browser AND DON'T GET DISTRA-

1. Instead of schoolwork


2. Instead of work-work

work

I must admit that every single one of these is actually pretty important to my ongoing function to finish out the workday. Puppies stuck in things, y'all. PUPPIES STUCK IN THINGS. I know I opened up my phone to look at the email sent to my school account, but then I noticed I had a notification on my Facebook app, and I HATE seeing those little notifications, so of course I had to open my Facebook app, and then someone had shared the video of puppies getting stuck in things. You do not have a soul if you have the will to not watch that. You are dead inside. DEAD. And also, Abbi and Ilana are equally cool and hella dope, but I just had to know which one I was. And guess what? I AM AN ILANA. Do you not feel as relieved about knowing this than I do?

3. Instead of writing my next article

4. Instead of life

5. Instead of this list

6. Instead of whatever

7. Instead

8. But this, y'all. THIS is the definition of procrastination. I told you I'd tell you later, didn't I? Here it is. This is also me filling in space because I need to reach five hundred words before I can turn this article in. Five hundred words do not seem like a lot but who am I kidding, of course, it is a lot of words.

9. I'm almost there. I said 10 memes, right? Why did I choose 10? Jeezis. Hang on, I found a good one when my Pinterest notification popped up in the bottom right-hand corner of my laptop.

10. This, too. OMG. This is golden. GOLDEN, y'all.

So, the moral of the story that I wasn't even telling is that while procrastination is funny while you are procrastinating it is actually a very real, intense, life-altering fear when procrastination has stopped being funny and become very, hella real and I'm going to stop typing now because I've reached my five hundred word quota.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
