My Top Five Favorite Ways To Procrastinate

I don't know about anyone else, but when I have too many things to do, I get super overwhelmed. One would think that the best thing to do in this scenario would be to make a list and knock that baby out one item at a time. Well, I tend to do the complete opposite. I am a master of procrastination. Here are my top five favorite things to do instead of what I should be doing.

5. Organize things that are already hyper organized.

In my kitchen, everything has a place. The cupboards are meticulously organized and clean. But if there is something that I should be doing, I will always choose to organize the kitchen again. Maybe the pots and pans should be switched around. Maybe I should organize the canned goods by date. Hmm, the freezer is a bit packed, I should see if I can make some room. It's a sickness really.

4. Walk my dog.

Typically, Kesha goes out twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. When I have a ton of stuff going on she gets to go out as much as she wants. Oh, you wanna walk around the apartment complex for the 5th time--let's go. Maybe we should go to the dog park even though it's muddy which means we need to get a bath afterwards. Perfect, let's waste ALL the time.

3. Look over my finances.

Okay, I like to be in control of pretty much everything. It has to do with my type a personality and affinity to be super anal retentive. Anyway, I like to look at what bills I have, how much money we have, and how I could change some things around in order to save a few dollars. I could spend hours doing this. I have spreadsheets, my planner, my mobile apps for both banks, and usually a notepad. I'm sure it isn't normal to do that, but hey it beats having to do whatever I should be doing.

2. Memes

I love memes. I love to find new ones, old ones, inappropriate ones, ones that are too soon jokes, you name it, I love them all. I can spend hours between Facebook, Pinterest, and Google finding new ones to send to my friends. Eventually I feel like I might see all of the memes, but that's why they have meme generators so you can make your own. Holla!

1. Netflix and chill

I am really good at binge watching. For example, I started watching How I Met Your Mother approximately 2 weeks ago and I am currently on season 6. If I have stuff going on I would much rather ignore it completely and just watch me some mindless television for hours. It's completely normal.

So there you have it folks, a list of all of my favorite ways to procrastinate. Disclaimer, I did all of these things while procrastinating writing this week's article because well, I suck. :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
