Sometimes (most of the time) I have no idea what I want to write about, which poses a serious issue for my lovely editor and publisher. So every week I procrastinate until the last second, which undoubtedly ends in a mad rush of stress, coffee and midnight cookie cravings. This week is, of course, no exception, so I decided to turn my lack of creativity into, well, something creative. So here are my five stages of procrastination, as told by my app usage.
Stage 1: ifunny.com
Because the features only come in scheduled bursts, this is an easy way to convince yourself that you aren't wasting too much time when you should be working. Unless you go to the collectives, of course -- but we aren't going to talk about those. ;)
Stage 2: Facebook
I like Facebook a lot, but I know that for some it has fallen out of fashion. That's why for me, it's only stage two of procrastination, because I already spend a lot of time on it. It's easy to browse through and navigate and rquires very little actual effort on my part.
Stage 3: Instagram and Twitter
These are stage three because I'm not very good at using them, so I usually don't unless I'm very, very bored. Twitter is worse, honestly I can't remember the last time I actually tweeted something.
Stage 4: Hulu, Netflix and YouTube
The waters are starting to get deep at this point. I can waste a significant amount of time in all three of these apps, it really doesn't matter which. (Although Hulu has my heart #hulu4life)
Stage 5: Pinterest
If I have made it this far, leave my body behind for I will be accomplishing nothing. My submersion in this app is so great that I will surface from my journey with no less than seven new boards, 300 new pins and a deep sense of mingled regret and satisfaction. This the final level of procrastination and by far the most intense.
So there you have it these are my favorite ways to waste time (besides sleep, of course). And trust me, I know how to waste some time. I mean I just got you to read an entire article about it right?
