Friday OT #2 - Killing Time

[CYCLNST8]

Some of us don't procrastinate intentionally.

What is your favorite way to procrastinate when you have a task at hand?

This is maybe better explained via an example. Sometimes I am trying to think my way around a logistical problem, whether it is work related or not. For some reason, creating a playlist for songs whose titles fits a certain theme allows my brain to focus on something else but kind of keep that tab spinning in the background, and I usually have an answer after about 10 minutes of working on that playlist.

As a result, I have dozens of playlists for themes for everyone from Songs about Places or Women’s Names or Real People, to songs with Greek/Roman mythology references in the title, songs where people laugh or whistle in them. It is a ridiculous hobby.

This is not procrastinating, and a little off topic, but I can't stand sitting still and not doing anything. This applies to waiting in line, sitting in a Dr.'s office or going to the bathroom. I just have to be doing something. Long before I had a cellphone, I used to take a book if I was going to be in a waiting room or a drive-thru line. Then I would take my Kindle. Now, I just play games on my phone. But to this day, my Kindle sits on the edge of the sink in my bathroom so it's ready for my use when I need it.
