was having a chat with my girl Christina from Hair Romance and she was telling me that her favourite method of procrastinating is Procrastineating. Don’t want to write that report? Cake! Can’t face your inbox? Chips! I knew exactly what she was talking about.
Since then I’ve been quizzing my friends on their favourite ways to procrastinate. Here’s the list of awesome ways to procrastinate thus far.
1. Procrastineating
Telling yourself that you’ll tackle your inbox right after you’ve eaten this sandwich.
2. Procrastibaking
Deciding you absolutely HAVE TO MAKE COOKIES RIGHT THIS SECOND when you have 3 deadlines the next day. This one often goes hand in hand with procrastineating.
3. Procrasticleaning
Doing something lame like taking a cup to the sink instead of cleaning the toilet. This form of procrastinating usually happens when the procrasticleaner is avoiding cleaning something else.
4. Procrastibating
When someone avoids completing a task by busying themselves with… themselves.
5. Procrastitweeting
When you sit on the couch NOT grocery shopping and tweeting about how you aren’t grocery shopping and should be grocery shopping. LOL.
7. Procrastibooking
Just ‘checking’ Facebook before starting your next task and spending the next two hours trying to figure out if that girl you went to high school with had a boob job or not. There’s also Procrastigramming, Procrastiscoping, Procrastipinning… you get the gist.
8. Procrastigrooming
Telling yourself that you’ll totally start on that article after you’ve mastered single false lash application.
Personally I’m a huge procrastibaker and procrastibooker. I have a type A personality so I don’t necessarily condone these practices but if you have to procrastinate, here’s how to do it well.

By the way you should totally sign up for the Smaggle newsletter and like Smags on Facebook. I don’t want to pressure you but I heard all the cool kids are doing it. Just saying.

Oh yes! I’m a huge procrasti-hooker. I can go for hours when I’m supposed to do other stuff.

I did a spit take over “procrastibating” oh my god haha
-
One of my mates threw that into the ring last time we were talking about it. He masturbates when he’s bored. I thought feeling frisky was the main thing…

-
Haha I procrastibake too. Although, I’m procrastiblogreading right now because I actually HAVE to do some baking and because I HAVE to do it, of course I’m procrastinating. I’m a contrary little Mary! x

I love procrastibaking. It’s just about the most pleasant waste of time imaginable.

-
Procrasticleaning and Procrastibooking for sure… and Procrsatigramming because surely someone has posted a new photo on Instagram since the last time I checked 10 minutes ago…
-
YES! I’m the same with Instgram and I’ve been culling my list so it’s delicious and curated and full of people I love. Makes it so much more addictive.

Oh I’m with Sonia!! Procrastibooking and procastigramming are totally my jam! Sometimes I also rewrite my to do list instead of actually doing it, even breakiing it down into similar catergories ….so would we call that procastilisting?
-
YES! Procrastilisting! I do that all the time. I literally just did it then…
-
-
I’m skilled at procrastifacebooking – SO BAD! Also procrastinonlinebanking just in case someone has put money in my account for no reason!
-
Procrastionlinebanking??? I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that.

-
Absolutely procrastapinning
-
I never really go into pinterest but I’m just about to start a new blog and I think it will be very pin-ny.

Procrastifaffing – in which one flatlays all of the things. Procrastifaffing is the predecessor of Procrastigramming, because flaylays must be shared, obviously.
-
Oh totally! I do that at cafes all the time. It’s the worst.
-
-
Procrastireading and procrastipetting (spending time with the dogs. Want to avoid vacuuming? Better walk the dog.)
-
I am a fan of procafinating. Making endless cups of tea/coffee or going out to get tea/coffee. This will clearly help me get things done. Problem is it become procrastiweeing and then the cycle starts again.
-
I am totally guilty of procrasticleaning and procrastibooking. I also sometimes spend way too long making a to-do list when I know exactly what I should be doing.
