I feel kind of guilty leaving you in a stupor of silence and waiting like this. The last two days have been both crammed full of study, brainstorming for an impossible English monologue that I have to present this Wednesday, and daydreaming i.e. procrastinating. Actually, I'm not a fan of the word 'procrastinating'. A quick visit to the online thesaurus has left me both rejuvenated and satisfied. Try these on for size.
Dawdling,
Dabbling,
Dilly-dallying,
Frittering,
Frivoling,
Idling,
Loafing,
Loitering,
Puttering,
Toying,
Trifling.
I actually like all of these words better than 'procrastinating'. 'Frivoling' is great isn't it? 'Puttering' is nearly onomatopoeic for the sort of squelching denial my brain goes through during a session of procrastination. But this list of words is so nice in itself. That's a thing I sometimes struggle with. Lists of synomyns often sounds so good together that I just want to list them all at the risk of sounding incredibly flowery. Actuallym, these words are so good that they might need to become the League of Productivity Busters.
Haha I love it! They are all so much better than 'procrastinating' :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of the word "puttering" before; I'm going to do my best to use it this week! xxx
