PROCRASTINATION IS A FULL TIME OCCUPATION

I think we are all used to postpone everything we have to do but I believe I’m a master in this field. Procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent one and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute".

Procrastination is a real problem in my all day’s life but today I decided to take advantage of it and to write an article about it.  

Here is the story of my best procrastination occupations while I try to study.

Actually every time I seriously start to study, begin my own and terrible ritual of procrastination. The very first thing I start to do is playing with anything and everything I can find on my desk. I mean I see all this objects everyday but they are important to me ONLY when I try to study. I rediscover them every time! Even the old pen which doesn’t work since a while have is significance anew and I obverse it for a very long time. That is the depart of my second occ

upation, while looking at my desk items I notice that they are all speck of dust. And of course I feel the NEED to clean my room AT THIS MOMENT. My room is messed-up since more than a month BUT today is THE day where I want to clean it! Let’s start to clean everything and to pass the vacuum cleaner in the bedroom. 

And that’s how I switch with my third occupation! Indeed I can’t clean without listening to music. The problem is that when I start to play music on my iPod is really hard for me to turn it off. You may say I could begin my study while listening to music. But the life of a procrastinator isn’t that easy.

Listening music makes me want to look through the window.  And once again, even if there is NOTHING to see, I always I contemplate it that as it is the most beautiful view that I’ve ever seen!  This moment can last a long time, sometimes more than an hour and can even be double if there is a cat of some other cute animals!

 Then I try to study anew, so I turn on my computer and I put my hands on the keyboard.  HORROR, my nails are really too long!  I try to forget about it and to stay focus on my study but I can’t. I can only think about my nails. So i take my nail-clippers and we are off!

I know it should take only a few minutes but when I don’t want to study I become a “really girls” and I can’t ONLY cut my nails… I need to file them and then to use a nails lacquer. Nails lacquers is a perfect invention for procrastination by the way, thank to it I can waste a lot of time because I can’t use my hands before my nails are dry. 

Then comes the fatal moment, when I have anything else to do which force me to study again. I really need to hurry up in my study because I have already waste a lot of time… BUT all of this was without taking into account all the procrastination proposition you can find online.

I mean, the real procrastinator can't start his computer without going first on Facebook also named: Procrastination Palace. Every time I begin with answer to my messages or my comments which is understandable but then I start to make a lot of inexplicable stuff. I click everywhere, watch picture from 2008 of friends I haven’t seen since a while… I only become award of the situation while watching pictures of random guys… Then to make my less guilty and to make something more useful I start to read some newspapers articles I can find a link on facebook … I insist on the fact I haven’t study anything so far and I think that the only way to be able to stay focus on my lesson is to take a little nap before and then I will be ready! Of course this “little nap” always changes itself against a “big night” and that is the ways how my day finished. 

“Tomorrow, I promise, I will study more”.
