Of course, reading other people being funny is a good form of procrastination.<br /><br />Looking at the Boden catalogue is a good way to put off writing articles.<br /><br />What really irks me is that it takes me so long even to post a letter. I wrote one last Tuesday and posted it today. Why did I put it off for ten days?<br /><br />The children break up on Wednesday, so I should be doing all kinds of useful jobs now.

So here I am online. Don't forget positive procrastination whereby a whole load of little things get done while you're avoiding th ebiggy and persuading yourself that you are still working. Also, as mentioned above, many things become obsolete or sort themselves out if you leave them long enough.
