I have extensive experience being a procrastinator. After reviewing my collected data, I now present my findings.

How to make sure you remain a procrastinator:

  1. Say yes to everything.
  2. Keep an endless to-do list.
  3. Be distracted; check your phone constantly.
  4. Binge-watch series.
  5. Take a break before you start anything. Think of it as planning.
  6. Doubt yourself and your abilities. Do you really think anyone will read what you write?
  7. Do housework.
  8. Make sure everything is perfect before you publish it.

“A day can really slip by when you’re deliberately avoiding what you’re supposed to do.”
― Bill Watterson

I believe my experiences will be helpful when creating a writing habit since I know what to look out for.
