I have so much to do right now. Maybe I should start by making a list. But first I’ll make a pot of tea. And I should check my email, FB, IG, Twitter…
I just wasted several hours. I’m way too unfocused. I think I’ll watch Netflix for 30 minutes and try to clear my head.

Oh crap! I have at least two hours worth of stuff to do in 45 minutes! I’m going to miss my deadline. But wait, was that a hard deadline? I think that’s just the timeline I set for myself so that I wouldn’t stress it. Phew! I’ve still got like two days. I can just chill out with Mr. Haagen-Dazs and cruise YouTube. I’ll do that other stuff. Tomorrow.

So let’s jump right in – after a piece of chocolate – and discover just what procrastination has to offer!
