Procrastination List
I'm sitting by my laptop, with my study material for HIST 338 Final Exam on my bed.
It's been like this for... oh, 7 hours now, and I haven't flipped a page.
Within the 7 hours, I've:
- Beat the game Dream Chronicles 2 online.
- Leveled up my character in Sorority Life at least 5 levels.
- Ate TimBits.
- Finished a novel for leisure.
- Posted on TalkSFU and other forums.
- Read some Manga at One Manga DOT COM.
- Caught up with Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
..... AAAAnd fucked around on facebook.
Believe me, the point of this topic is NOT TO give you guys more ideas on how to procrastinate--but rather to help me procrastinate further by making an entire post about it.
But... post your lists, as I'm sure I'm not the only person that says to themselves "I'll use my laptop to help me study" while surfing random websites and playing useless online games. This way I wouldn't feel so bad about my impending doom/failure.
PLEASE HALP!!

For example, during my final last semester, I was asked how did the conducts of the Allies in WWII set the stage of the Cold War? Lucky for me, it was an actual chapter question and I wrote a paper on that... 1.) Lurking TalkSFU
2.) Cleaning my room
3.) Doing laundry
4.) Craigslist "window" shopping
5.) Lurking TalkSFU
6.) Planning my HIST 436 paper (haha)
Did you also take the course online?
And did you even read the course readers? (Basically, would it matter if I didn't read them?)
Other than that, my course readers were collecting dusts on the shelf. Here are my recommendations...
1.) Look over the chapter questions
2.) Answer them
3.) If you are not satisfied with your answers, read the chapters and then answer the chapter questions again
My list:
-Play random tunes on my guitar
-Read news
-Go on TalkSFU here and there
-Listen to music (I can't study while listening to music)
-Look at my bamboo plant
I once locked my laptop in my car trunk and parked it at SFU and went home without it. Most productive day ever.
LOL. Did it stare back at you, longingly?
BEST. IDEA. EVER.
jk
ya when i have to study and im not in the mood ill do almost anything like
go to gym
clean car
clean parents' cars
clean house
clean pool
at leas that way although i didn't study ill feel like ive still done something useful lol
I'm in HIST 338 currently too.
I had exactly 10 days to finish the paper for the class. I literally procrastinated, or what I like to call, dicked around, for 8 days (192 hours?). Did the paper in 1.5 days and did really well. I don't think I slept though...really wore me down.
Then I sat on my computer watching the St. Louis and Colorado game occasionally doing a bit of studying.
- organize music folder, download and embed album art, fix all id3 tags
- think about how screwed I'm going to be if I don't finish this paper
- think about how screwed I'll be next week when I procrastinate
- Tune guitar to "E-A-D-A-C#-E". try to play a song
- Tune guitar to "B-D-D-D-D-D". try to play another song
- Tune guitar back to standard. give up
- Moderate FML's. See the same one 4 times. FML.
- Go through list of to-download music
- Watch the torrents download. Stop seeding as soon as they finish
- Make an epic sandwich
- Check talksfu, email, twitter, facebook, friends' blogs, webcomics, other websites that could possibly update themselves
Repeat as necessary
- Downloading new music.
and also... I do that too... I'm anal about my music showing up with proper album art and name...
sounds about right
