Why do you procrastinate?

Posted by RedWritingHood at 9:29 PM

I posted about procrastination over at The Writing Mother. I just wanted to let you know!

What is your favorite way to procrastinate? Or most common way?

I have been known to pick up the phone and call friends to talk about how BUSY I AM.

How do I procrastinate? Well, by starting blogs, blogging and visiting other blogs. Laundry and vacuuming will also do. Working out is never a good way to procrastinate.
