We all know what it’s like to procrastinate.  You know, those times that we find a hundred things to do except the ONE thing that we are REALLY supposed to be doing.  Student, John Kelly, got creative and put together a short, animated film about the human tendency to put things off.

The film will make you chuckle, especially if you’re, well, procrastinating by watching it. =)  Some of the things described as procrastination in the video are things that can make you happy and productive…except when you should be working on something else.

Have look and let me know what you think.  Did John Kelly get it right?  Do you do some of the things he mentions?

“Procrastination is rearranging your furniture. It’s playing computer games.  It’s playing imaginary computer games with your furniture!  Procrastination is spending 30 minutes looking for the right pen.  It’s spending 10 minutes getting the right pen to work!”
