I don't know about anyone else, but when I have too many things to do, I get super overwhelmed. One would think that the best thing to do in this scenario would be to make a list and knock that baby out one item at a time. Well, I tend to do the complete opposite. I am a master of procrastination. Here are my top five favorite things to do instead of what I should be doing.
5. Organize things that are already hyper organized.
In my kitchen, everything has a place. The cupboards are meticulously organized and clean. But if there is something that I should be doing, I will always choose to organize the kitchen again. Maybe the pots and pans should be switched around. Maybe I should organize the canned goods by date. Hmm, the freezer is a bit packed, I should see if I can make some room. It's a sickness really.
4. Walk my dog.
Typically, Kesha goes out twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. When I have a ton of stuff going on she gets to go out as much as she wants. Oh, you wanna walk around the apartment complex for the 5th time--let's go. Maybe we should go to the dog park even though it's muddy which means we need to get a bath afterwards. Perfect, let's waste ALL the time.
3. Look over my finances.
Okay, I like to be in control of pretty much everything. It has to do with my type a personality and affinity to be super anal retentive. Anyway, I like to look at what bills I have, how much money we have, and how I could change some things around in order to save a few dollars. I could spend hours doing this. I have spreadsheets, my planner, my mobile apps for both banks, and usually a notepad. I'm sure it isn't normal to do that, but hey it beats having to do whatever I should be doing.
2. Memes
I love memes. I love to find new ones, old ones, inappropriate ones, ones that are too soon jokes, you name it, I love them all. I can spend hours between Facebook, Pinterest, and Google finding new ones to send to my friends. Eventually I feel like I might see all of the memes, but that's why they have meme generators so you can make your own. Holla!
1. Netflix and chill
I am really good at binge watching. For example, I started watching How I Met Your Mother approximately 2 weeks ago and I am currently on season 6. If I have stuff going on I would much rather ignore it completely and just watch me some mindless television for hours. It's completely normal.
So there you have it folks, a list of all of my favorite ways to procrastinate. Disclaimer, I did all of these things while procrastinating writing this week's article because well, I suck. :)
