Procrastination


Recently, I have had many hypothetical people come up to me and ask, “Tyler, how do you procrastinate so well.”  Well, it’s not easy by any means; it’s a lifestyle choice that is most difficult to master.  If you have the dedication and the endurance then I can show you some tips and tricks that will change your life forever.  The first and possibly most important key to being a successful procrastinator is distractions. Whether it be in your mind or in the outside world, always make sure there is some form of issue to help you take your mind off of the current task you should be doing.  My personal favorite distraction is television.  I can turn if of and watch the hours tick away.  Another helpful tool is the internet!  Most people know how to kill an hour on facebook or playing games, but many procrastinators don’t realize the true potential the internet holds.  With many sites such as youtube you can kill an hour or two just for look at videos of talking dogs.  Also, it helps if you choose to do your tasks in the middle of the day.  At this point in the day, most of us are wide awake and ready to do something. These are perfect conditions for a professional procrastinator.  My final tip is to not plan ahead.  Planning is the downfall of many procrastinators.  Having a plan and being prepared stops you from getting up and getting things or stopping to think about what you want to do next, which are the staples to a good procrastination session.  Now, there are other methods for procrastination, but I think I’ll keep those to myself.  What would I do if I gave away all of my secrets?   Anyways if you follow these tips, you be going nowhere at the speed of light.
