Organized Timer Woah there! This is an advanced method of procrastinating. The Organized Timer sets up periods of time to allow themselves to procrastinate from their work. In order to call themselves procrastinators, the timer must be set for no less than 25 minutes. This way they can still say they procrastinated, but were still able to work on what they needed to. These are baby steps to becoming a great procrastinator, but it is well worth it!

Clean Freak

You are actually working on something but you’re trying to find an excuse to take a break. You suddenly notice that there are some dishes that could be cleaned. You get up, clean them but then realize that the floor definitely needs vacuuming. After vacuuming you think about how long it’s been since the bathroom was cleaned, plus you need to do laundry too. As the list keeps growing, so does your amount of procrastination. Being a Clean Freak is a great method of procrastinating but also an awesome way to live in a clean space!

Level 6
Hello Social Media guru! You’re so tech savvy that you can procrastinate while checking all social media sites. You’re constantly checking Facebook to see how many links your relatives can share in one day or just commenting on your friends old pictures from middle school to get them surfacing again. Then you go check Twitter to see how many favorites or retweets your last funny tweet got. But you can never forget about Instagram, never. You love checking up on Insta to see how many filters Kim Kardashian just put on her last selfie. Either that or your’re checking how many likes your last selfie just got. Don’t forget about Pinterest either! You take a quick peek to see how many new followers you have on your new board. Before you know it, at least an hour or two has gone by. Keep up the good work! 13 icons from Google

Netflixer
It’s getting serious. You’ve reached the level where you can call yourself the Netflixer. The Netflixer procrastinates by binge watching episodes on Netflix for hours. You can’t resist hitting the play button when it asks you if you want to watch the next episode. You’ve already watched two episodes, you might as well watch another one. You are shameless about your decision because you know that the work you need to do isn’t going to get done anyway.

I’m so addicted to Netflix and I don’t even care. There are so many good choices!
I heard Blue Bloods is good though... www.netflix.com
Starting a new series during finals. Perfect. That was so good! On to the next episode! No work tonight! www.netflix.com
