Internet. Since it's rise in popularity it's probably at least doubled people's procrastination, I'm going to do a study on it... I'll start Monday.

Rewatching DVDs. I'll put one on, thinking that it's nice to have something on while I'm doing something else, then the episode/movie will end and I'll notice that I haven't actually done anything.

Sorry it took me so long to post.

Procrastination refers to the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time, therefor, any action, such as fapping or using the internet, are not in themselves acts of procrastination, but actions or tasks within themselves.

Whilst one may use these actions as distractions, in order to procrastinate about a different & entirely seperate action or task, the act of procrastination is not the afformentioned distraction itself.

In other words, thread = fail.

Dumping a big log is a superb means of procrastination.

You can perform all sorts of tasks that you wouldnt normally carry out such as reading, washing your hands etc.

You can even have a **** afterwards to celebrate.

Nah, procrastination can refer to one task in particular whereby you engage in other tasks to prevent yourself from doing the particular task. I always develop some kind of obsession around exam time.

Also starting exams this week. I just dusted the window ledges on the outside of my house.

Thinking about how I won't procrastinate; or blaming myself for procrastinating.
Or, Cooking. Or *alone time*.

But not at the same time. Usually.

Yes, procrastination is putting something off. However, by watching telly, you are engaged in another act. If you wanted to watch telly, but deferred in doing do, that would be an act of procrastination.

The thread title should actually be "what are your favourite things to do whilst you procrastinate about something else?".

I think somebody needs to "procrastinate", you're sounding a little frustrated there.

I suppose you could be right, maybe.

Either that, or every dictionary definition of the word is incorrect.
