The Beginning of the End & How to Procrastinate

Surprise! It's kittenpause time again!

I know, 5 months, no excuse.

To be fair it's been a very long, frustrating couple of months in my land, and free time was more likely to be spent on mind deadening things than anything else.

Anyhow, exams will begin Monday and be over by 1:15 on Thursday at the latest so... I'll try to be a more prolific writer. Although I won't have my own computer for almost a month, so my ability to post may be limited. BUT once I get to SETI (where I'm working this summer!) I'll try to post what I can and keep you all apprised.

Onto the meat of this post... procrastination strategies!

STRATEGY #1: sleep. This is an excellent form of procrastination. Just don't get out of bed. Side effects including feeling gross and the need to shower.

STRATEGY #2: watch Hulu. This also applies to regular tv, youtube, any website with video content, really. Basically watch everything you find interesting. Then search for new shows.

STRATEGY #3: Find friends. They are very diverting and distracting. Go for a walk, go on an adventure, forget that you have to study for things in general.

STRATEGY #4: make a list of things you need to do. Don't do any of them. Feel that this is enough work and read a book, play a game, check all of the above to see if anything new is going on.

STRATEGY #5: learn an instrument! Not well enough that you can actually play, just well enough to annoy people.

STRATEGY #6: Realize it's too late to start anything. sleep some more.

Who else has effective procrastination strategies? I think zoning out is also pretty effective.

Thanks for reading this brief kittenpause. Now back to your regularly scheduled life.
