The Smart Man's Guide To Procrastinating

Hi, it's the Smart Man here to help you attempt to reach for the stars and fail miserably. Follow these steps and you'll be able to disappoint any time soon!

1) Make an alarm for some time bright and early that makes you feel like you will accomplish something the next day. 7am is a classic and traditional choice, you can spice it up with a 9am if later is your style.
2) Ignore your alarm as many times as possible and make sure you tell yourself you'll "wake up in five minutes".
3) Wake up at around midday and feel like you've come out of a coma, also realise that you've wasted half of your day.
4) Crawl out of bed and feed on some junk. Promise yourself you will do homework after your feed.
5) Turn on your t.v. and check if anything is good on. Promise yourself you will do homework after one t.v. show.
6) If step 5 shows no luck, resort to the internet where there is an endless amount of blogs, social networking sites, videos, porn to waste at least 1-3 hours.
7) Go on Facebook and read through your news feed and notifications.
8) Reconnect with friends via text, phone call, msn, Facebook chat, morse code, whatever you need regardless of the fact you speak to them every other day.
9) Eat dinner. Eat your meal really slowly too. Savour every spoonful as you most likely will end up in a deadbeat job where you can hardly make enough money to eat.
10) Take a bath as this is a great way to waste not just time but also water. So you're doing something for yourself and the world.
11) By now you should realise you don't have much work time left so you can swear to yourself you'll do an "all nighter".
12) Go on the computer again, play some form of addictive game.
13) Open a folder, this will at least make you feel like you are going to start some work. Otherwise open a word document and title it, this will defiantly look like progress.
14) Stay up till around midnight and realise you're too tired to make any productive work.
15) Promise yourself you will wake up early the next morning and do heaps of homework.
16) Repeat step 1.
