             Have you ever did something else when you need to finish a load of works? Or even a few hours before the deadline? Well if you did you master the Art of Procrastination. Procrastination is the in nowadays. Students, mainly procrastinate when they need to do something that is school related. Procrastination as wiki says is the art of avoiding required tasks by allocating tremendous importance on actions more useless, mundane, or interesting. Some students are PRO-crastinator or Professional Procrastinators. People may find procrastinating unproductive but it is sometimes have benefits. 

As a expert procrastinator or PRO-crastinator, I will give you some tips on how master the art of procrastination. So, let us begin!

•Don't think about the deadline. Just chill. Take your time. Think that you have plenty of time to do the task. Thinking about it might kill you, just kidding.

•Do the laundry. Doing household chores while procrastinating is a good thing. Doing the laundry is not a heavy chore to do, I guess. At least you use your time in cleaning your clothes rather than doing nothing.

•Check Facebook. Know what is trending on your news feed. Stalk your crushes. Check your notifications. Site who among your friends is online. Clearly, you'll ending up chatting to them. Scroll on your news feed. Comment on interesting posts. And oh, don't forget to post a status about how much work you have to do.

•Tweet what you feel. Tweet something that you have loads of work to be done and how do you manage it. Tweet about hard it is to start your task. Tweet about that when deadline is and you will do it few hours before it. 

•Organize your room. Having an appealing room is great and it will help you to think. As the saying says having a cluttered room means having a cluttered brain so cleaning your room won't hurt and at least you've got a productive day. And it is the time to clean your mess.

•Take a nap. Get a little rest and attack your assignments refreshed. Just let your mind rest, clear it of worries, and focus on enjoying the distractions.

           
            At the end of the day it is up to you if you choose to procrastinate. If you want to do your work few hours before the deadline, it is okay to procrastinate. If you want to finish your task ahead of time, it is better. Remember, procrastinate all you want but make sure that the time you are procrastinating it is should also be productive. Write a list. The next time you find yourself procrastinating, write a quick list of "Why I like toprocrastinate”. You might surprise yourself as to the reasons that are going down on the list, as there could be impetus to re-prioritize a lot of things in your life!
