You&#8217;re not alone. But procrastination doesn&#8217;t always involve leaving things\u00a0to the last minute or zoning out in front of the TV.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the best way to procrastinate will make\u00a0you feel productive and accomplished. Sure, you\u00a0might be avoiding what you <em>really<\/em> need to do, but at least you&#8217;re putting that time to good use. Here are simple tasks you can do to procrastinate &#8220;better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reconnect with a friend<\/strong><br \/>\nRather than sitting there and passively liking all of your friends&#8217; social media posts, go old school and give them a call. Catching up with friends is always a good way to spend time, even if it&#8217;s just a 20-minute phone call. Take it a step further and even walk around your neighborhood while you&#8217;re on the phone to get in your daily steps (multitasking at its best!). Who knows? The fresh air might even motivate you to get started on that dreaded project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organize your living space<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re planning on procrastinating anyway, might as well use that time to get some cleaning done. Whether it&#8217;s the Tupperware mess in your kitchen cabinets or the cluttered pantry of expired snacks, pick a place and start tidying up. The key is to divide and conquer to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the mess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch up on current events<br \/>\n<\/strong>As life gets busy, it&#8217;s easy to get stuck in your personal bubble and be out of the loop. Use this time to read up on the latest news or watch a couple YouTube videos for the latest trends. You can even turn on a couple podcasts while you finish chores. You may be a procrastinator, but at least you&#8217;re an informed procrastinator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clean your makeup brushes<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you can&#8217;t remember the last time you washed your makeup brushes, this is a must. You won&#8217;t even feel like you&#8217;re procrastinating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try out a new recipe<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy not extend your procrastination with some home cooking? Not only will you be using your time wisely, you&#8217;ll also get a tasty meal out of it.<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"Do you procrastinate for hours on end?
