30 Ways I Procrastinated Today

I’m supposed to be working on the paper I have to write before I officially start writing my dissertation proposal.

What I’ve done today is come up with some excellent ways to procrastinate.

A good long dog walk, Boomer needs it, and then she will rest and I can work.

Make tea (can’t work without tea)

Find cookies/chocolate anything sweet (can’t have tea without sweets).

Check my email (too boring) although deleting emails is a little more enjoyable.

Check the Nytimes, not inspired

Check Yahoo, still not feeling it.

Gawker, nothing, all three of these sites are writing about Chavez in different ways, none of it is interesting me right now.

Ahh grade psych 250 papers! This is something I have to do, but not necessarily today, but I will do it, yes. I feel accomplished.

eat a couple handfuls of blueberries

feed the soft and semi-moldy ones to Boomer

play One Game of Fifa 13

A frustrating loss

Rematch, I win!

Rematch again – no I shouldn’t , can’t

check email again

text my lovely wife, nothing really to say, just hw u? mis ya type things

check yahoo again

check apple stocks (note I currently have no stock in apple just checking)

brush the dog’s teeth

take a picture of brushing dog’s teeth

send myself picture

the wife will be getting home soon, call her, no answer,

I can’t start now because she is almost here, then I will have to stop and we will walk the dog together. She will say ‘I can just walk the dog’ and I will say ‘no I want to come I’ve been sitting here working all day’

I’ll work when we come back, I think.

The sun is sinking behind the palisades

I open a bottle of wine, maybe a glass will help me think, and some cheese, some type of blue, a soft brie, some smoked gouda and crackers.

write this blog post….

and not publish it until weeks later! How do you procrastinate?
