Deadlines, deadlines and more deadlines. The more we have to do, the more we tend to procrastinate. The more we procrastinate, the more we would try to convince ourselves that we are doing something useful.
Honestly speaking, are we really doing something useful or are we just delaying time? Here are 17 deadly sins we are all guilty of doing.
Sometimes I do wonder, what’s up with the internet which keeps us coming back for more, unknowingly.
It started with the first few episodes on your laptop. Then, episodes became seasons and before you know it…
and when your laptop and your back finally gave in …
Ain’t nothing gonna stop me from watching TV!
Those games which you would considered lame on a normal day basis would suddenly become so fun such that, you have to beat the high score otherwise you won’t die in peace.
Or maybe you told yourself you will stop once you get that high score. But that was yesterday. It’s now time ot beat your new high score!
Face it, there is no face more beautiful in the world than your own.
It’s always good to know what you look like when you talk to others. But then again..
This is the evolved version of point 4. It’s no longer just enough to observe your face, so spend some time looking at yourself making quirky expressions! You could always say you’re exercising your facial muscles if caught.
I’m sure after the facial workout, you would have find the prefect expression for a selfie. Oh yea, time to show your friends the best picture out of the 50 pictures you just took.
Just make sure there aren’t any photo bombers around.
Or a train in this case. (Viideeo)
Some eat for subsistence, others eat just so they don’t have to do what they have to do for a while longer.
Just remember to chew
This is actually one of the productive things you can do, except for the last picture.
Sometimes, you just need to drive some creative juices up to your brain, relax a little and take in what’s happening outside.
You’ll know it’s time to get back to your work when you start to see a giraffe.
Your work probably involves a lot of reading. So what better way to start by reading something completely irrelevant to it.
They’ll probably raise suspicious against you but who can blame you for checking up on your cousin’s first wife’s son’s friend?
Your mother just spent the whole afternoon slaving over the stove, it’s about time you do something for her. Why not help her with the chores?
With all the work ahead of us, its time to celebrate with a pre-work dance!
As curious human beings, we should be open to learning new skills, like Yoga…
or maybe Making Pancakes?
Playing a prank is a joyful act for everyone. And by everyone we mean everyone but the victim.
Here’s the flower” you asked for!
Getting distracted, and putting off our deadlines happens to everyone. You do it, I do it, even your Mom does it. We are only human and procrastinating is in our nature. However that doesn’t mean you should give yourself a pat in the back for doing so.
I hope this list helped identify some of the excuses we give ourselves in the name of not doing work. Do try getting back on track with your work. It isn’t going anywhere no matter how long you delay it.
Maybe you can start right after you read one more TSL article!
