I come around here dozens of times every day to procrastinate or "clear my mind for work" anyway, checking the unsifted videos for submissions since my last visit takes just a few seconds. The front page stays sorted by hotness, incase I missed out something deemed interesting.

Videosift is my procrastination device.

And I found his style charming, he's got a talent there


Geesh, this guy is indeed charming. I want charm lessons from him, not procrastination lessons.

And once that's done the new things to see and read etc. are pretty much all gone (and being on Austalian time, and most of the stuff coming out while I'm asleep, it doesn't drip feed that fast during the day) then I can really get stuck into work...


It's a good thing you haven't discovered Reddit then

Heh I still have the aeron. Well actually, my mum has it, strangely. You can't dismantle them, so they're hard to get around >> ^spoco2:

No leather sofa... and sadly no Aeron chair like in the heady dot com days... oh how I miss that chair!

It's that whole 'getting into the zone' thing with coding (yes, I'm a coder by trade).Same. I also try to get my procrastinating done in the first hour of the day; then it's on with the headphones. Unfortunately I'm a nicotine and caffeine addict which gets me when I'm between tasks.

Do you have a KARLSTAD two-seater leather sofa as well?

I know full well my procrastination habits, and my main method of getting rid of them? Don't... sort of... I write off the first hour or so of a working day to checking email, checking facebook, checking videosift, checking engadget etc. etc. And once that's done the new things to see and read etc. are pretty much all gone (and being on Austalian time, and most of the stuff coming out while I'm asleep, it doesn't drip feed that fast during the day) then I can really get stuck into work... plus I have sufficiently slacked that my mind is into a really good 'right, I'm relaxed and feel I need to be productive' mode.

So... yeah.

But I completely agree with his tips as once you're IN the zone you don't want to be out of it... and I find that headphones and music help a lot there. I have some albums that I have listened to literally THOUSANDS of times now (The first Enigma album is one)... because I can put them on, they get me into the right mindset and I stay there.

Hmmm *quality tips to avoid procrastinating, which isn't what I'm doing now, I swear!

He has the same procrastination habits as I do; and the same furniture as I do...



There must be something in the furniture!

At first his comes off as amateurish and I didn't find it funny. However, once he started going through why we procrastinate, it made a lot of sense. Upvote.

Sick of the lies
Sick of the war

We’ll never have another, don’t be a silly bugger,
Check under the tree have a more than a stocking stuffer
It make my belly shudder, Don’t want to eat my supper
Come mother earth wanna serve jam and peanut butter

Another latecomer, here comes a great summer,
Arnie Schwarzenegger owns more than eight hummers,
But the trees suffer, too many woodcutter,
Each and everyone is killing off the earth mother
I shouldn’t even entertain the scene, humanity: insanity machine
Admit that it is us that lost this dream, Last generation passed the buck onto me.

Like a duck out of the water, we’re not going where we oughta
Pretend we’re getting tougher, fronting that we got this covered
But the rights are given up ah, given to the new-world-order
Too many men are nutters, taking out sisters and brothers.

Oh why won’t you see for your self, oh why wont you see for your self

Because I’m sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war and I’m
Sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war.

What did I really come here for? should have been among the sons of war
Time is on, and many man come but gotta be a part of the freedom cause
What a mess were in, we’ve got money in the tin,
But a president acting like a totalitarian
Some of them think it don’t matter, why the fat cats are getting fatter
Some of them think the phenomenon is given on a silver platter
What you seek to gain is what you can’t afford, well I’m
Sick of the lies and sick of the war

There’s a young man in an old cafe, rising his coffee cup he says
“I’m holding on to yesterday, until I build a better world some way”

Just let your mind fall away, It doesn’t matter what the haters say
Forget that man has to be this way
Forget that man has to be a slave
Follow your art, say what you’re saying
It’s all around so why are we waiting?
Come on people now we better start celebrating,
People all around, we better start celebrating
People all around, we better start celebrating
Come on everybody, we better start celebrating
People all around, we better start celebrating
Come on everybody, come on everybody now yo

People all around, we better start celebrating
If your mind is not ok then do some meditation
There better be another way until we’re communicating
We got to move faster because humanity is fading
I can see that we need intelligence operating,
We better call Mister T and the rest of the A-Team
We need true intentions and not just faking
We got no time for stalling or procrastinating

Sick of the lies and I’m sick of the war.
