Procrastination is a habit; it happens mindlessly and unwittingly. However, breaks are necessary when moving through life-so, what’s the best way to waste time? The Atlantic’s Olga Khazan took to the streets of Washington, D.C., to interview people about their procrastination habits. In this video, she explains a technique called “simplified habit reversal,” which is a therapy that can help replace mindless procrastination habits with something more productive.

I procrastinated watching this video on procrastination by putting it on my "Watch Later" list for about 3 weeks.

I have just procrastinated from finishing the video, so I can write this comment, all while procrastinating from what I’m actually supposed to be doing.

I can procrastinate for hours cleaning my house if I know I have to do something I don't really want to - such as finishing my final project at university. I feel better when I am procrastinating productively, but still...the most important work doesn't get done.

most annoying is when I've procrastinated about stuff, so i feel bad about going to the gym or some other normally worthwhile task. I don't go to the gym with the intention of doing the work, but instead I waste time avoiding the work. Embarrassed how often I should have just gone to the gym in the first place; I wouldn't have been any further behind....

An easier way is to have as top priorities lots of unproductive stuff, then at some point or another you're forced to distract yourself from that into productive stuff.
