Do you tend to procrastinate a lot? I do, and I make lots of excuses why I tend to do that. Surprisingly, all that avoiding and procrastinating can have its hidden benefits.
Daydreaming
Daydreaming might feel like the ultimate waste of time, but it may just be the opposite. Here is what happens when you daydream: your brain spaces out and flies to thoughts that are not related to that immediate moment – anything from thinking what to prepare for dinner to wondering about why your dog has been throwing up. So forgive yourself for spacing out during church sermons. You are being productive contemplating the future

.Napping
Napping does a mind and body good. It is my favorite past time and sometimes, I wish I live in Spain where they do a lot of napping. Taking a moment to nap for like around 15 to 20 minutes can make you more alert and energized. Take a nap a little longer and this will help you retain information better (this was my trick when I was reviewing for the board exams). Don’t let the boss catch you!
Messiness
My mom was my exact foil. She was the epitome of orderliness and I was the poster child of messiness. This might sound strange to a lot of you, but I thrive in chaos. Just because my “organized” is scattered does not mean I am less efficient. I get wild blog ideas under all this mess! And I tend to look at the brighter side when the mess does take the best of me. When I find myself searching for my keys in my bag, I think of the treasures I will discover in the depths of my bag.
