I have a dull practical boring thing to do today.
-
@CiaraNi I was going to try to write a witty reply but perhaps it is best to do that tomorrow.
Or maybe Sunday.
Or...
@the_wub Maybe start writing it tomorrow, post the first half, then fooster off to do something else, then post the rest on Sunday. The suspense in the interim will do the rest of us good. Slow social media.
-
@CiaraNi Stick!
@rvedotrc Stick! I've heard it so many times already today that I know the words by heart.
-
@CiaraNi Tell me if you need help with procrastinating!
Long live Saint Procrastina!
@NatureMC Saint Procastina. Sounds like one of the cool saints. One of the women who would've fooled them all into letting her be Pope, except that she lost interest half-way through.

I know it's rude to brag, but today I completed a dull practical boring task that would normally take about two and a half hours in just under six hours.
@CiaraNi Good thing about jobs like that is that you finally get your toenails clipped, your 7 varieties of flat-bread lined up nicely, and a couple of toots sent, all in a single day !

Or that time I saw a log relaxing at home?
@CiaraNi I thought it was waiting for the bus

Ah! A Hitchcock fan.

@CiaraNi I’m sure the dishwasher must need unloading.
@baoigheallain It was only half loaded, so I could half unload it, I suppose. That would remain within the official parameters of procrastination, I would think.

@wolf We could make it a competition. The Procrastination Olympics. The winner is the loser, because they achieved something.
@CiaraNi Challenge accepted. On your marks! Ready, set,

There is a picture of her as the Log Lady on English Wikipedia:

@dhobern @Nickiquote There she is! Thank you

Procrastination skills like that can't be taught. Takes years of training, that does. Learning the art of foostering about, not doing the thing.
@CiaraNi I think it's called Zen or something, and it's a very desirable skill.

Celebratory cake has been unlocked!
(Although... You'll have to procrastinate your way through buying or making it yourself
)@folfdk Celebratory cake - yes! I'm feeling so Got It Over With smug that I may even put lille Dannebrogs in it. Maybe I could ride up to the door of the bakery and shout in, asking them to throw a cake out to me. So I don't have to go to the unnecessary effort of actually getting of my bike.

@CiaraNi haha, din alt-text er vidunderlig!
Du kender sikkert alle tippene, men hvis opgaven kan inddeles i mindre bidder, er det nogle gange nemmere at komme i gang hvis man kan se at den første bid er til at overskue.
(Jeg elsker selv at prokrastinere, men mest hvis jeg også får løst opgaven - og det er rigtigt, det kræver tid til begge dele!)
God arbejdslyst!@tanyakaroli @CiaraNi Takk for tipsen!
Jeg skulle aldri har leste den alt-tekst ellers.

@hakona
- exactly how I'm feeling. Also smug, if there's an emoji for that. -
@CiaraNi Procrastishooting...I haven't heard that hashtag yet. The resting log is next level.
@MargaretSefton I just had a look and it is a very exclusive hashtag - I am the only person in the Fediverse who uses it. I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed.

@CiaraNi
I probaly caught on because over in B.C., my home province, log houses are popular, thankfully they are a more spacious and provide more shelter than this one.
@TrueNorthSpice @CiaraNi That is because the trees are bigger over there!

@hakona This is it. Procrastination is productive.

@CiaraNi I thought it was waiting for the bus
@woollypigs Hahaha - now I think it is waiting for the bus too. Now that you've said it, I can't unsee it.
