5 more minutes...

Procrastination is something that I suffer from and I imagine lots of other creatives too. In fact I can relate to every single example in the video above, like just yesterday I fell victim to, "...spending 30 minutes looking for the right pen... then spending ten minutes getting the right pen to work..." (as seen at the 45 second mark).

Johnny Kelly wrote, animated and directed this video (above) in 2007. It leaps from doodles to stop-motion in such a captivating way that you just have to see it for yourself, right now, or in five minutes, eh, why not just watch it tomorrow. And, if you prefer better quality than YouTube, watch it here »

I loved this video in all its truth.
Although for me, there are few I would add:

Procrastination is deciding that it must be time to eat something.
Procrastination is changing the desktop image of your computer.
Procrastination is following people around the house asking "what are you doing?".

That was the most creative animation I have seen in a good good long time.

Procrastination is sharpening all the existing pencils and crayons in the house.

Procrastination is going through my phone contacts for no specific reason.

Procrastination is rearranging the filing system on my computer.

procrastination is putting up shelves in your workspace to make it more efficient. then spending an hours tightening the bolts on the shelves. then putting things on the shelves. then deciding to change them around...

your video was so wonderful and creative so not made by procrastination!

I've avoided cups of tea as procrastination - I just make sure I have one by me constantly all day every day while I work. It works better than the beer did.
