Procrastination!

[Just_A_COMS_Major]

Traditionally, I just pretend I don't have work and distract my friends. Sometimes I just read something not related to the task at hand.

I come to this site or watch YouTube generally. Sometimes I read.

I usually hit the forums here, have a Youtube video on in the background, or go on Giantbomb.com. Ever since I graduated from university though, procrastination is pretty much a thing of the past.

If I feel REALLY guilty about not working, I'll find something to clean up. If not, I just hop on to Dota 2 and get a game... or 2... or 3...

 

[Queen Michael]

I read manga, comic books and novels.

I love being a procrastinator, you rock nerd 3! Wait we are talking about something else are we. Well, ok I love to play mmos all day and watching YouTube.

I would tell you what I do when I procrastinate, but that seems like too much effort. Think I'll go do something else. Maybe not.

I should probably take a shower since I'm supposed to meet family in a few hours.
.....

I wonder if I can find anything interesting on some of my favorite websites.

I would not worry about it to much Aristotle approves of procrastination. "...The great-souled man...is idle and a procrastinator, except wherever either a great honor or a great deed is at stake;" (nicomachen ethics 1124b, 23). Obviously I come here to procrastinate and throw random Aristotle quotes at you guys, instead of onto the paper I should be writing.

Usually I don't have any important things to do, so my normal procrastination is a procrastination for something else I've started but can't bring myself to finish.

Usually it'll cycle through playing Minecraft non-stop, sewing, doing sudokus, making something silly to put on tumblr, or posting on here.

That way when I do have something important to do, I can just pick something from the above list!

I usually just do what I normally would be doing if I didn't have anything to do. I don't usually wait until I sit down and look at my work to start procrastinating. For me, the procrastination begins as soon as I am assigned the work, and it becomes more of matter of when I will finally find the will power to actually open up my bookbag after class and start. One good thing though, is that once I start, the momentum will usually be enough to keep me working until I finish, and I probably won't wander off halfway through. I find that listening to GameGrumps in the background to engage myself in a way that isn't work related often helps a lot though to keep my mind from wandering, because I am doing something that I enjoy doing(listening to GameGrumps) while I work, so I lose a lot of temptation to do anything else like pick up Pokemon Black 2 for example, and go back to EV training or something since I got the Pokerus and saved a sample in my box, since that makes me want to play it all the time. I have also been forcing myself to get started on my work earlier, so that has been less of an issue.

I should doing math homework right now.
I have been watching youtube videos or going on a websites like this. I should just stop doing this shit right now and finish my homework.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

Text my girlfriend or, failing that, play videogames. Or both if I'm really hell bent on putting something off.

 

[hazabaza1]

I should probably be sorting out my Pathfinder campaign or doing something about finding a new job because this one's ending soon but I've just been watching Sons of Anarchy instead.

Good show.

As of right now I really should be collating research material for a paper on the science behind basic oxygen steel production, so apparently, this place is what I do....

90% of the work I do requires a computer and/or internet connection, so yeah, its always there, tempting me. Especially while sifting through hundreds of pages of dry congressional hearing testimony for snippets of useful info. (I have to wonder about the people who attend such meetings for a living, just reading through the documentation makes me die a little inside.)

 

[Headsprouter]

I should eat something!
...
Now I'm thirsty.
...
Hmmm. What is the precise meaning of this word?
...
Maybe I can "research" on YouTube!
...
I'll check out the Escapist...
...
Memebase...
...
Facebook...?
Organise...?
Clean...?
Edit something...?

...yeah, you get the point.
