Procrastination
I haven't posted in awhile, in part because things have been very hectic (busy+crazy), but also because of procrastination. Remember that 'to procrastinate' means to avoid doing something important, such as writing a report, by doing something less important, such as watching youtube videos or drinking beer. Most of the time when we procrastinate, we do something fun, but many people do things such as clean their house or study a foreign language, which is also a form of procrastination if something more urgent needs to be done.
Here's an interesting video by Zefrank on how to procrastinate:
Vocabulary:
I'm assuming = I'm considering to be true, to be the case
assure = guarantee
You are missing out = To fail to benefit from or gain enjoyment from.
put off = to do something at a later time; delay; postpone
submit = to send somewhere
power moves = see here for explanation
common sense = practical everyday logic; something that is logical, makes sense
get credit for something = get recognition for doing something good
font = styles of letters (shrift)
quote = a citation from literature, movies, or famous people
signature line = special line that can be added at the end of emails or posts on forums.
double check = check for a second time
utter = complete
crap = euphemism for shit
silverware = knives, spoons, and forks
browse = look through
throw up = vomit = eject the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Example: I ate some bad piroshki and threw up.
addiction = dependency on something like smoking or drinking alcohol.
comma = punctuation mark ( , ) used to show a pause in a sentence.
stutter = to repeat or mispronounce a sound in speech, especially at the beginning of a word.
