Procrastination Hacks for the Ambitious

Writing a Sonnet in 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Find a comfy chair and a bag of chips

1. Open your laptop and stare at the screen for 20 minutes, contemplating the meaninglessness of life
2. Write 10 words, then erase 8 of them
3. Realize you've been staring at the same sentence for an hour and start over
4. Rinse your face with a refreshing glass of iced coffee
5. Repeat until you've written 14 lines of iambic pentameter

Example Sonnet:

In the land of procrastination, where deadlines never come

And productivity is but a distant, fading hum

I find myself lost, in a sea of blank page

Where every line I write is just a hollow stage

For the drama of my mind, where heroes rise and fall

And the villain is my couch, that beckons me

I shall overcome, I shall persevere

I shall write a sonnet, and then I shall retire

For the land of procrastination, where I shall reside

And the only deadline I'll meet is my next snack time

So here's to thee, dear procrastination, my friend

May our love of laziness never come to an end
