We're all guilty of pushing off our to-do list from time to time. If it doesn't have to be done now, then why do it? Here's a few signs you're a citizen of #procrastiNATION
1. You snooze your alarm.
Ugh, there it is again, that dreadful buzzer. Every morning, it's just as annoying as the day before. Get up, ya bum! It's time to wake up! It's time to—hit the snooze button. That's what time it is. Ah, yes, five more minutes. Ten more minutes. Fifteen more minutes. You didn't want to be on time anyway, right? Good.
2. You look for snacks.
After all, you can't concentrate on an empty stomach! Food is brain power, so it makes sense to grab something to chew on before you get down to business. This is an important decision, though. One that can make or break your study session.
3. You check social media.
Before you can really focus all of your attention on the task at hand, you have to make sure nothing important is happening elsewhere in the world. You start with your favorite social network and scroll through until you've seen it all. This one could take a while. God forbid you miss a single Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat post. What if a new iPhone model is released?! Or one of your friends gets engaged?! Better refresh the page just in case.
4. You take a nap.
What's more productive than closing your eyes for a bit? Just a little 20-minute cat nap. Just kidding. Two hours later, you're wondering what year you woke up in. Congratulations, you slept through half the day.
5. You make long lists.
One of the biggest problems for procrastinators is using organization as a means to stall. You know you have work to do, so instead of actually starting it, you make a list. At first, you feel like you've really accomplished something, but then you realize all you've done is waste time.
