The alternative name for this post was Perfectly Productive Procrastination (because y’all know I love a good alliteration) but once Andrew suggested the name I couldn’t refuse. This post has been my week…and life. I have a tendency of getting everything done very quickly, but it’s usually after quite a bit of time spent doing other things than what I need to be working on. I’ve perfected this technique so much that the dude is quite assured in my abilities to complete tasks, while I frantically do everything but what needs to get done. But hey, at least I get something done, right? So since I’m actively procrastinating on quite a few tasks this week, I thought I’d give you some options that will help you procrastinate while staying productive. 
• Ya know those things that don’t have due dates? It’s time to get started. Have you been putting off doing your taxes? Jump right on it! (Author’s note: taxes do have deadlines and they are approaching. You should probably do them)
• Start researching capsule wardrobes for yourself, stray into men’s. Send links to a man you know (worthwhile information!).
• Speaking of clothing, it’s almost-spring. Start evaluating your style and closet!
• Do you wear heels? Find the best heel height for you! Believe me, this is not only productive but very, very good information to have. I’ve been burned in the past (as we all have, I’m sure).
• Clean! I’ve found I do my best cleaning when I’m avoiding something. It’s thorough, provides a wonderful end result, and we all know that a clean house is a clean mind!
• Meal prep to save time later (for more procrastination). Don’t worry, I found some recipes for ya too 
• Start a minimalism or fitness challenge because why not? You’ve got plenty of time!
• Catalog jewelry, electronics, and any other important/expensive items you own by taking photos and recording serial numbers and details about each item for insurance purposes.
• Visit your local Container Store and stock up on necessities like hanging toiletry organizers, packing cubes, and a very startled looking (“you’re going to plug what in me?”) Pickup Power doodad for your next trip.
• Organize your bathroom/makeup/office/desk/life using the other amazingness you ended up taking home from the Container Store.
• Lastly, take a nap. Seriously. You may be surprised what a nap can do for your morale when you’re feeling stressed! You can wake up 100x* more productive than you would have been otherwise.
There you have it, some of my fave ways of being productive while also procrastinating! Now go forth, be productive, and procrastinate.
Wishing you many hours to get things done (or not),
Shantelle
