Happy Friday!

It’s a beautiful fall day here in Central Ontario. I walked over to the chiropractor’s office for my acupuncture treatment this morning, and then treated myself to breakfast at my favorite diner on the way home. It was a lovely, relaxing way to start the day before coming home and diving into the to-do list!

Here’s what I have for you today, starting with Part 2 of the How to Procrastinate Productively article…

Today’s Read: How to Procrastinate Productively, Part 2

In part one yesterday, we talked about how to procrastinate productively at your desk by taking care of all manner of little tasks when you’re putting off getting started on the big stuff.

Today, let’s talk about other ways you can be productive when you’re procrastinating.

Procrastinate and Move at the same time

As an online entrepreneur chances are you sit at your desk way more often than you should. Why not use some of your procrastination time to get up and move around a bit?

Do some housecleaning. There’s always housework to be done, and it’s another thing that gets put off in my house. But you can get it done in by tackling small jobs one at a time when you’re feeling like procrastinating on your regular work. Do tasks like

• Vacuum the floor.
• Scrub the toilet.
• Take out the garbage.
• Wash the dishes.
• Mow the grass.

The added benefit of getting things done around the house is that they all require you to get up and move to do them.

Run errands. Get out of the house and run some errands. Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need to kickstart your motivation and end your procrastinating tendencies, at least for the moment.

Get some exercise. Exercise is a great way to avoid feeling guilty while you procrastinate. You can do things like a 4-minute Tabata routine, a few yoga moves, or get outside and go for a walk around the block. It all lets you procrastinate on the work sitting on your desk and gets you moving and doing something for your health.

And the upside is that exercise is known to clear the mind, so you may find you come back with fresh ideas to tackle the problem you were procrastinating on to begin with.

Relax while you’re procrastinating

Take a complete break. Sometimes the best way to procrastinate is to just stop for a while and have a rest. Naps are always good, or if you don’t want to sleep, you can meditate and give in to the temptation to just be still for a few minutes.

Do something creative. Using your creativity can help you relax and give you the break you need. If you have a hobby, spend your procrastination session working on your latest project. You can draw or color or doodle too.

So there you have it… 12 ways to procrastinate productively. You’ll still get things done even while you put off the tasks you dread. Of course you could always learn how to stop procrastinating too, but that’s a conversation for another day.

And now, here are today’s deals…

Bonus Updates…

A couple of bonus updates for you this morning…

First, I’ve taken the deadline to claim off the form. The main reason I did this is because I’ve decided to leave most of my bonuses available after the launch date. Since I preach that you should only buy what you need when you need it, it didn’t seem fair to me after thinking about it, that if you’re not ready for something now but you want to buy it six months from now, you should still be able to have a bonus on your schedule.

So, if you didn’t claim something because the deadline had passed, and still want to, just fill out the form and include your receipts to I can go back and verify and I’ll make sure you get taken care of.

The second thing is that I created 3 new bonuses for you to choose from. Here’s a quick peek:
