This week we had the option to pick between the two prompts titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" or "Chart your latest project against this shape. In what ways does it match? In what ways does it differ?" As per usual, both prompts sparked my interest but when it came down to picking one I chose the one titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?"
One of my most common methods of procrastination, like many of my peers, is my phone. Social media, texting, and music are my main problems when it comes to turning to my phone instead of my schoolwork or whatever else I am supposed to be doing.
I would say my next most common method is food. When I am working on something I am constantly thinking about everything in my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I am constantly snacking and it drives me crazy. I should probably weigh like 500 pounds from all the junk I eat while stressing over assignments.
Another method is watching TV or music videos. At the beginning of the semester my roommate got a beautiful Samsung smart TV. It connects to the internet so we put our Netflix and Hulu accounts on it and it is so hard to resist when I am sitting at the kitchen table doing my work with this giant TV constantly staring at me. I've come to realize that I get more done if I just pull YouTube up on it and let music videos play through, but even then I get distracted watching them.
The methods listed above happen to me constantly. If I am not watching something on TV then I am watching it on my laptop. This next method tends to happy every time I go home and plan to do homework (it never actually gets done). This method is named Grayson Gunner. Grayson is my dog. He is a Yorkshire Terrier and is the cutest little thing ever. When I go home I just feel as if I must give him all my attention since I am always away at school.This also happens with my cat, Penelope, but mainly with my dog.
I do not think I have one favorite method of procrastination, maybe my dog because he lays with me and watches movies and naps and is just a pretty relaxing guy. If I had to choose my favorite method for when I am at school I would say it is watching Netflix on our Samsung TV. I chose that because when I get engrossed into a movie or series it is like a small escape from reality for just a little.
My better procrastination method would have to be doing house work. I find myself doing this on the weekends when I think I have all the time in the world but sometimes laundry can consume an entire day in itself! When I do this I always fib to myself and tell myself that these were things that needed to be done right away. For instance, doing my laundry, doing the dishes, grocery shopping, and just cleaning in general.
