Always Put Off Today What You Can Do Tomorrow!

No wait. That’s not right.

Except for me it is. I suffer from Procrastinitis. In non-medical terms, it refers to the uncontrollable urge to not do what your supposed to do when your supposed to do it.

It can range from ignoring the pile of laundry that is staring at you from the corner until you realize you have no clean underwear, or in my case, writing and editing that really should get done but I just have one more movie to watch and THEN I’ll do it.

Technology has only enhanced my Procrastinitis. I can watch a movie instantly thanks to Netflix. I can chat with my friends in Ireland and Canada at the same time. I can play online games till my eyes cross. I can surf message boards for hours and have absolutely nothing to contribute at all. Then I look up and realize FOUR HOURS have passed and I have done nothing constructive. At. All.

Oh and let’s not forget Twitter! The newest and bestest way to completely waste an entire day by watching other people procrastinate too. It’s awesome!

(The fact that it is noon on Wednesday and I am just now getting to typing this post only proves my point!) In my defense I did have a dentist appointment this morning and I do work a full time day job, but really, I suppose I could have done this ahead of time. (Like some unnamed YA Highwayer who will not be named *coffKaitlincoff*) But there were movies to watch, and message boards to surf. I can’t be expected to remember everything!

So what is your favorite procrastination enabling tool?
