Procrastination: A How-To Guide

It seems like the more I have something to do, the more other things I find that need to be done. I have a paper due at midnight tomorrow? Oh well then my kitchen needs a significant deep cleansing! Accounting test Friday? I really need to try this new recipe! Marketing analysis on Netflix? Ooh I think I should re-line my trunk with new fabric!

(This last one I'm def doing right now)

(Pictures will be coming soon by the way)

In any case, my procrastination is both one of my worst features and one of my best. As much as I want to be one of those people who plan everything down to the hour and are able to get all sorts of productivity done, I'm not always good at it.

However!

The upside to my frequent procrastination is that I find myself able to work really well under pressure. I've become very familiar with having a close deadline and getting my work done well and quickly to get it in. It's a skill that has become very useful and I'm sure will remain useful later. (Now if I could get the knack of that whole time management thing...)

So in the spirit of further procrastination, I'm curious to know what some of your favourite procrastination methods are? What do you guys like to do when you need to take up a bit of time? Or are you one of the people who are able to get your work done first and then spend your free time doing other things?

And of course, one last bonus from my procrastinating on the internet, my current favourite viral video going around now, Stormtrooper Secrets by ScottDW on youtube (if you haven't seen this yet, you must): 

New year, new semester, old me

We are already mostly done with January, no idea when that happened, and I'm just beginning to look around and go "Oh right. Things to do." A 6-week long break from everything is nice in theory but bad in me being able to get things actually done.

I have all these well laid plans and they inevitably fly out the window in favour of staying on the couch, drinking coffee and watching netflix.

I hope you all had a great beginning of the new year and a good January, hah! I've had some awesome friends come and stay with me and the start to a new semester of my grad program. More accounting is on the way and that means its time for more of my super powers to deal with this once and for all. This is the last semester of it and then I am done with accounting and can proclaim my victory.

I have an awesome craft post I am putting together (the pictures are all being a bit squidgy) and I hope to have that up for everyone soon. In the meantime, please take a moment of your day and enjoy a bit of old school Community:
