Productive Ways to Procrastinate

Everybody (well, almost everybody) has had an experience where they were given an assignment (or two, or three, or a hundred) and just couldn't bring themselves to do it. That happens to me fairly often. On the occasional day, I can make myself sit down and do it right away, but most days, that is not the case. Let me show you.

• Spend some time talking to your family! It is always good to know what your siblings are doing all the time in that place called COLLEGE or ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, and telling all your stresses to your parents is a great way to let it out.You may also find that your family has lots of friendly or sarcastic advice for you.
• Find something to take a picture of and take lots of pictures, and then edit them. That can take as much time as you want it to!

• Organize your closet (or any awfully messy space you have)- who would stop you?

   

• Start pounding out the latest song you have been trying to learn (this is Levi's favorite).

 CAUTION: May make other, more studious, people a tad bit angry...

• Do other, less intimidating, easier homework.

• Research something you have never heard of- preferably an animal or carnivorous plant. For example, I bet you've never seen this before! This animal is called a pika. It lives at really high elevations and is a pretty tough critter. Pikachu was derived from it, which is why this one looks like- guess who- Pikachu!

• Bake a yummy something. Preferably something like...this! Yes, this is a cake, done by the Cake Boss). Did I mention that it is taller than me? It is.

• Do the dishes. Nobody else wants to do it; your mother will love you more than any of her other children, and you will have clean dishes to eat off of the next day.  On a side note, the less people there are at home, the more time it takes to do dishes because there are less people to help.

As you can see, I have plenty of ways to avoid homework when I want to. Don't worry, I still get the assignment done eventually, but you have to admit it- these temporary alternatives (you still have to do it sometime) are all pretty great!
