I reckon I’ve got my procrastination completely under control...that’s why I currently have a textbook open in front of me but I’m on here instead of working haha. I think that I use my phone less if it’s not in front of me when I’m trying to work, kind of hard when I’m listening to music off it but it helps if I put it in my bag or under something so I don’t constantly see it.

I actually don't deal with it until the work becomes too much for the timeframe. Basically I just screw around until I'm like 'ah crap im so screwed send help', so I'm probably not the best person to ask about coping strategies, but this totally works for me.

Schoolwork? I don't have any of that (insert crying-laughing emoji here. Why don't we have this emoji??? @Joseph41), I'm far too old to have school work

You can always find emojis if you look hard enough. 😂

Probably doing general time wasting things like Netflix, YouTube etc. However currently not watching anything on Netflix so suggestions welcome. Also I try not to do any of this at my desk.

But when I'm actually doing work I probably procrastinate the most when I watch lectures online  - usually in the form of Spotify because I can't do both at once  :'(
