Procrastination is an art that many strive to master but only a select few can truly call themselves great procrastinators. It takes dedication, skill, and a complete disregard for deadlines to achieve true greatness. So, if you want to be a great procrastinator, here are some tips to help you delay tasks or not do anything at all.

Firstly, always remember that tomorrow is your best friend. Why do something today when you can do it tomorrow? This way, you can always put off important tasks until the last possible moment, giving you the perfect excuse to rush through them and do a shoddy job. Remember, there's nothing like the adrenaline rush of a last-minute deadline to get the creative juices flowing.

Secondly, always have a good excuse handy. This is the hallmark of any great procrastinator. If someone asks why you haven't finished a project or met a deadline, be ready with a plausible excuse like "I was waiting for the right inspiration" or "I wanted to give it some time to percolate in my mind." This will make it seem like you're not just procrastinating but rather, you're an artist waiting for the muse to strike.

Thirdly, distractions are your friends. Social media, video games, and Netflix are all excellent ways to distract yourself from important tasks. Make sure you have them all at your fingertips, so you can indulge in them whenever the urge strikes. This way, you'll be so engrossed in your distraction that you won't even remember the task you were supposed to do.

Fourthly, always underestimate the time required for a task. This way, you can convince yourself that you have plenty of time to complete it and then proceed to do absolutely nothing until the deadline is looming. This also gives you the perfect excuse to blame your procrastination on poor time management skills.

Lastly, always remember to take breaks. You can't be expected to work non-stop, can you? Take a break every few minutes, go for a walk, or indulge in a snack. This will not only help you delay the task but also give you an excuse for not getting anything done.

In conclusion, procrastination is an art that takes years of practice to master. So, don't be discouraged if you don't achieve greatness right away. Just remember to take it one task at a time, and always have a good excuse handy. And who knows, someday, you too might be able to call yourself a great procrastinator.

I heard they're living among us in secret underground bases. It's just a matter of time before they reveal themselves.

This article is hilarious! As a seasoned procrastinator, I can attest to the effectiveness of all these tactics. And let's be honest, who wants to work when there are so many good distractions out there?

While this article is funny, I can't help but feel like procrastination is not something to be celebrated. It can lead to missed opportunities, added stress, and even health problems. I think it's important to strike a balance between getting things done and taking breaks when needed.

I think the Yellow Suited Pranksters are behind this.

This is great advice! I especially love the tip about underestimating the time required for a task. It's the perfect excuse to put things off until the last minute. And who doesn't love the thrill of a deadline?

As someone who values productivity and efficiency, I have to disagree with the message of this article. Procrastination may feel good in the moment, but it ultimately leads to subpar work and missed opportunities. Instead, I encourage people to find ways to stay motivated and focused, so they can achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

This article speaks to my soul! I've been putting off a project for weeks now, and these tips are just what I needed to avoid actually doing anything. Why work when you can binge-watch Netflix, right? Thanks for the laughs and the encouragement to keep procrastinating!
