Most ludicrous ways to procrastinate

[AngloDoom]

All of us procrastinate - put things off - from time to time. Some worse than others, and some in stranger ways than others.

Today, instead of doing my two-hours of research I set myself as a goal, I discovered I can move my elbow to the centre of my rib-cage without straining myself, that I can pick up socks with my feet without breaking a walking pace, and that I can handstand for a maximum of fifteen seconds.

So, Escapists, what are the most ludicrous ways you've found to put off life?

Perfect solving rubix cubes, and go on the escapist. Also, minecraft.

Oh Christ, not Minecraft. That bad-boy ate up hours of my life, and then indirectly sucked more of my time away via the guys at Yogscast.

Rubix-cube solving almost seems productive, though. The Escapist is my downfall too, though...

 

[Happy Sock Puppet]

Sex, then a nap. Can't beat those as procrastination tools.

 

[Wapox]

Warcraft 3 TFT
League of Legends
WoW Second worst one
TF2
TV..... Worst one

Napping while having sex?

OT: The escapist, SMBC, drawing, anime. many things.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

I'm doing it right now.

 

[Jedamethis]

Stumbling. Eugh.

 

[GamerKT]

Masturbating. Multiple times.

 

[NastoK]

Mostly playing games, I suppose. Though I had my share of playing the "Who can stare longer" game with my wall. So there's that.

Also, back in the elementary school days, I'd read a book instead of studying. Perfect disguise.

 

[SckizoBoy]

What do you think I'm doing right now?!

Seriously, though, writing random bits and pieces, gaming, listening to News Quiz, watching anime, any number of vastly unproductive things.

 

[Azaradel]

My procrastination is divided into three levels, like so:

Level 1: Drawing
Level 2: Drawing porn
Level 3: Drawing porn in MS Paint

Of course, I do other things to procrastinate, as well, but drawing is by far the most common, and drawing porn in MS Paint is by far the most retarded.

Oh well.

*goes back to drawing*

I'm not procrastinating at the moment, though. It's just that I've got nothing else to do.

 

[Hugarh1]

Tf2. Every damn time. "I'd better actually do work now OH LOOK NEW HATS"

 

[AngloDoom]

Stumbling. Eugh.

StumbleUpon has killed my productivity many a time. That said, I often learn something from it so it's almost excusable.
Until you select 'Flash Games' as an interest, and suddenly three hours have passed, you're still in your underwear, your breakfast is soggy or cold, and that important thing you wanted to do is gathering dust.
Curse you, Stumble...

Masturbating. Multiple times.

(My, the Escapist seems to suddenly be a lot more honest about masturbation recently.)

Is it bad that I don't even consider that 'ludicrous'? That's just something that everyone does when they get bored, I think.

My procrastination is divided into three levels, like so:

Level 1: Drawing
Level 2: Drawing porn
Level 3: Drawing porn in MS Paint

Okay, now that's something that's a bit weirder. Drawing is fine, I'd consider that productive. Drawing porn is quite bizarre, on Paint or not. I never thought of porn as anything but a 'speed this up' button.

I once procrastinated by making a list of things I need to do to procrastinate.

 

[Navvan]

Whenever I am procrastinating something so much I begin to do other things I've been procrastinating. Suddenly having an urge to do dishes or fix something to prevent having to write a paper is odd.

Until I reach that low I typically find some sort of entertainment to entertain me.

 

[The Wykydtron]

I somehow manage to put off watching anything on the Internet, i'll open about 5 tabs of Youtube vids, anime, manga etc and go "right then i'll leave these open during the week and i'll watch them... At some point." This happens daily

It's like i'm super procrastinating or something


I blame Lucky Star for this habit...

 

[AngloDoom]

I once procrastinated by making a list of things I need to do to procrastinate.

May I ask what this list included? The very concept hurts my brain, like some procrastination-Inception.

Whenever I am procrastinating something so much I begin to do other things I've been procrastinating. Suddenly having an urge to do dishes or fix something to prevent having to write a paper is odd.

Ah, productive procrastination. I absolutely love it. The amount of things I get done around the house when I need to do something academic is mind-boggling. I actually have the neatest house when I'm stressed and putting off work.

I think I'm too simple for that. When I procrastinate I just go "I'll do this now until it runs out. Then I'll do something else." Hence it jumps from topic to topic and can last from anywhere between a few minutes to days.

The list I procrastinate is a sort of list within a list within yet another list. And the only way to read this list of procrastination is to procrastinate. You procrastinate looking for list, more and more. But because you're procrastinating, you don't find it.
