Process Essay 2 =]

How to waste time sucessfully =]
Have you ever herd friends or family members brag about how much they had got done that day, or last week or even this month? People like this really bother me, and it’s because I can never get anything done; it takes me along time to accomplish little tasks like cleaning my room and small little things like that. If I could get a grade for procrastination, I would get an A+. My three specific examples would help anyone accomplish a wasteful day. Then you can brag to all those annoying people who get tasks completed how unproductive you were that particular day.
I am not a super messy person, but I don’t necessarily keep my room sparkling either. Many times I have debated whether or not to put my clothes away, clean out my binder and backpack, make my bed, do my laundry before I do I get online, and/or take my shower before I do pointless homework. Doing all these tasks takes a while, and because I don’t want to do my homework I usually clean my room on nights that I have a lot of homework, or even on the nights before I have a test. Any type cleaning or house work tasks would work also, these types tasks could include vacuuming, doing the dishes, dusting, doing laundry and a lot of other tasks that are performed when doing house work.
Another awesome way to waste time is daydreaming. I can sit for fifteen minutes or more before I actually realize that I should be doing something else. I usually think about what happened that day, or what is going to be taking place tomorrow, or anything else that could imaginably pop into my head. A lot of times I look out the window and look at all the trees, clouds, squirrels, leaves on the ground or even the grass in my back yard. This is a great method to waste time especially when it’s small simple cleaning tasks, like cleaning out my backpack.
The best way to waste time is to interact with other people. That way when your parents or someone asks why you haven’t completed the task of cleaning your room, you can blame it on someone else. For instance you could say “Well, Mom I was talking on the phone to my friend about something important. I couldn’t just hang up.” I talk to my boyfriend all the time on the phone especially when he is gone to New York working. But for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money on phone bills, which we all know parents don’t like to spend a lot of money, than you could use different messenger’s online. I prefer MSN. But, if you don’t like doing a lot of typing than you could just surf the web, which can take a lot of time up, especially if you have a slow internet provider. If that is the case than what seems like forever to look at a minimal number of sites.
The main point to remember when wasting time is that you need to find something to do that's not as important as what you really need to get done. Then you will be an unproductive, procrastinating, time-wasting master.

A little formulaic, but, sure, okay, this works as process--how to do something. I'll take it.
