You've done it, I've done it, we've all done it at some point in our lives. Some more frequently than others.
Here's a post on procrastination to procrastinate fixing some figures to be publication quality for a paper I'm submitting to a journal. Why? Because I know next to nothing about PhotoShop and I'm not happy with my boss (yet again). I've done well this weekend and ended up procrastinating. Yet I got an oral presentation tomorrow at 9 am. My ppt presentation you ask? Ummm I'll pull it together soon I imagine.
Left work around 4 pm on Friday and what did I do? Not work from home finishing editing the paper but read a 348 page book I got at Borders the other day. Saturday I had bellydancing class followed by more procrastination by spending time at a music store. I ended up buying a Djembe and signing up for drum circle classes. Went to buy food and instead of writing I spent quality time on Facebook and DeviantArt. Around 3 I went to my new condo to put the deposit down. Went to buy stuff for the BBQ and randomly decided to help the hostess get ready for the party so I would have an excuse to not sit home and stare at the paper.
So it's Sunday and I opened my MacBook staring at the unopened file... yeah well got up around 2 since I decided to sleep in and cooked because I was hungry. Around 5 I sit back down but wait my mom's on Skype! So I had to show off my new Djembe. Ended up coloring my hair purple and red and blow drying it so I could straighten it. By now it's close to 8 so I'm on the phone for 1 hour and instead of writing I have a 2 hour drumming session. I've been playing sudoku for an hour already... time does fly!
Other than surfing random sites, drumming, dancing around, reading (especially fan fiction), I also play with beads making necklaces and bracelets.
So my question to you is: What do you do to kill time and procrastinate on something? Be it school work, job-related or chores.
