The art of procrastination…..
Procrastination is a talent that takes years of fine tuning to master. All the following are examples of procrastination technique that I have come accustomed to:
· Sneaking in a nap …. All the while ignoring the 9+ hours of sleep I had the night before.
· Giving into the strange urge to paint my finger and toe nails with white out…
· Doing some “extra research” on the internet… and ending up on facebook for hours looking at friends’ photo albums of creepy family relatives.
· Taking a phone call from my mother, because answering her phone calls are always important and time consuming….
· Cleaning my bathroom.
· Matching socks together in my sock drawer.
· Taking a bath or shower so long that my fingers prune
· Writing a list of songs that I keep on forgetting to download from iTunes
· Braiding random sections of my hair
· Eating old breath mints that I found at the bottom of my purse until I become sick to my stomach.
Please note that the above mentioned activities transpire just hours and sometimes minutes before a project must be completed. Subsequently, procrastination helps you hone in on your skills for working under pressure.
