Let’s face it, we all do it. Unfortunately, procrastination comes naturally to almost all of us. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t kind of enjoy the small rush that comes along with a late-night cramming session. The biggest issue we procrastinators face is finding things to distract us from our work. Once we’ve finished combing through Facebook, we sometimes run out of ideas. So, here it is my fellow procrastinators, an index of sources for putting off work:
Create a new song playlist.
Obviously, you need a studying playlist and the one you made a week ago just doesn’t cut it anymore. Take some time to put together that perfect set of songs. It’s good to know your priorities are in check.
Shop online.
You definitely deserve a new bathing suit after spending that long 10 minutes filling out three study guide questions. Plus, shopping is productive too, right?
Tag friends in memes on Instagram.
Chances are you’ve already looked through your friends’ personal photos from the last two days. Now the obvious thing to do is look through popular accounts and tag your best friends in relatable posts. See if you can find one about how much school sucks #reallyrelatable.
Check sports.
Whether it’s the score of your favorite team or the schedule for the next home game, it’s definitely more important than studying for that Econ test.
Eat.
Who doesn’t love a snack break? If you’re really feeling desperate to get away from your responsibilities, then just head out for some food. You’re killing two birds with one stone—avoiding homework and satisfying your craving for Mexican food.
Talk to the people you’re studying with.
It’s not procrastination unless you’re doing it together!
