Seriously ladies, I am a procrastinator. With a capital P. I learned this from my dear mom ( you know it’s true mom) and it has ‘helped’ me along through college and now, as a stay at home wifey. I love finding lists of ways to be more productive, telling myself that I really will try some of them out and be better at getting things done in a timely fashion. But well, I never get around to it. So today, I thought I would share a list of my own on how to waste time.=)
take a nap. every day.
find an addicting video game on your smart phone. play obsessively.
find another game to play when you’re bored with the first one.
over-request books from the library – get them all within a week – read constantly.
Watch favorite tv shows on Netflix.
Get lost searching new recipes on Pinterest. For hours.
Spend a few hours reading blogs.
Go to Portland with your OH (other half) every other week.
Go visit your mom.
Stare sadly into your mostly-empty fridge.
Make well- intentioned to-do lists.
Check your mailbox – at least twice each day.
update reading status on Goodreads.com
Play with photos on picmonkey.com
Organize photos on Dropbox.
Play with your dog. If you don’t have one – get one.
Take another nap.
Hopefully this helps you get into the oh-so-fulfilling life of the professional procrastinator. If not, there’s no hope for you. =)
What are your favorite ways to waste time?? Or, what’s your best time-saving tip?
the start of a good life 
This was hilarious! I’m such a procrastinator and now that school is back I have got to kick this to the curb…which is no help from your list! 😉

First of all, I think we all need to stop acting like procrastinating is some type of flaw, or weakness.
I think it’s the hallmark of prioritization. Not everyone can work well under pressure.
PROCRASTINATORS UNITE.

hahaha! Oh this post is so me some.. ok, most days. My best tip for being a procrastinator? Create a new board for a project you want to do and pin no less than 100 inspirational and tutorial pins. Then go back and search again for some really cute ToDo lists, because…. some day you might actually use them. And if not, well… they look super cute on your Organization board.
