Procrastination Website #7: Awkward Family Photos

Awkward Family Photos




The name pretty much sums this one up. You might have had some problems with embarassing family members yourself - but trust me, some of the photos on this site are so cringeworthy that you'll be more than happy with what you've got. From matching outfits to awkward poses, this site is perfect for a small amount of procrastination, and a great pick me up if you're feeling down.

Procrastination Website #6: Lamebook

Lamebook





Sometimes, one of the simplest pleasures in life is laughing at people more stupid than ourselves. It may not be entirely ethical, but it is definitely enjoyable. As huge amounts of our social lives now take place over the internet via Facebook (another dream site for procrastinators), there are endless opportunities to make a fool of yourself online. If a friend is generous enough, he or she will gladly recommend your idiocy to Lamebook and if you make it onto the site, you'll have the dubious honour of being one of the lamest people online. For the rest of us, it can make for hilarious reading, and ideal procrastination material.

Procrastination Website #5: YouTube

YouTube









If you've not already stumbled across this site you must have been living in the wilderness for the last 10 years, but there's no denying the unlimited procrastination potential of YouTube. If you want to chill and listen to some music, there are millions of videos for that (provided of course that they've not been removed by copyrighters). If you want to watch videos that are oddly intriguing for no real reason at all, then there are thousands of these too, such as this one. And if you want to watch fat people hurting themselves, then there is no better place. YouTube has more videos than you could ever watch in a lifetime, but a true procrastinator would still try.

To get just a small impression of the potential of this site, check out this video.

Procrastination website #4: FML

FMyLife













One fine silver lining on the dark cloud that is the average procrastinator's mundane life, is the fact that no matter how depressing you think your own life may be, there's always someone out there having a worse day than you. That's where FMyLife comes in. A simple collection of anecdotes from people complaining about their lives is somehow endlessly amusing, and you always come away feeling a little bit better about yourself afterwards.

Procrastination Website #3: Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon











Technically, Stumbleupon just re-directs you to other websites and doesn't create much interesting content itself, but the fact of the matter is that you'll end up stumbling for hours without realizing the time is passing you by. Based on the recommendations of other users as well as your own personal interests, Stumbleupon makes sure that before long you'll find some quality website that you never knew existed. Well worth a look.
