Study Break Blog

It’s gotta be a new record.  Me, posting a new blog in only three days?  I know.  Sorry to disappoint, however; this one will be a super-quickie.

I have a priority procrastination problem.  When I absolutely, have to do task A, suddenly task B (which is no more pleasant) becomes super attractive.  Example:  Though I have a final exam in less than 24 hours, I have strong urges to clean my apartment, which for once isn’t really that dirty.  I’m also fighting the temptation to go for a run, look up/purchase textbooks for next semester, research housing for next year, organize my finances, and pick up part of someone’s shift at work.  I am being completely serious.

The funny thing is, none of those tasks are really that much fun anyway.  I guess in the face of something I have anxiety about, my way of procrastinating is to do something else “productive” so I don’t feel like I’m actually procrastinating.  Except it’s still procrastinating.  I have no idea why, but I’ve been this way all my life.

I thought I was the only one (well, at least a rare breed), but it turns out that several of my friends feel the same way.  As a matter of fact, a Youtuber I follow by the name of Meekakitty does the same thing, and she has managed to put it in a far more interesting way.  The video has a lot of announcement type stuff, but the humor is there.  And because I’m taking it easy on this one today, I’ll skip all the promotional stuff and just say she’s a very distinct YouTube personality, she’s funny, talented, and if you like this video you should check out some of her others.

NOTE:  I do not claim ownership of this video.  I have no ties to Meekakitty; I just like her videos

Now I’ve got Party Rock Anthem stuck in my head.  Maybe I’ll reorganize my music collection before I get back to studying.  And then maybe pay my bills.  And clean the toilet.
