Tell the truth, are you procrastinating right now?

Are blogs part of your procrastination?

Photograph of man at computerI’m curious. Are you procrastinating right now? Is reading these blogs part of your procrastination? I’m not judging, just curious. Take the anonymous poll, and I’ll post the results in a couple of weeks.

As I’ve discussed in previous blog entries (Cyberslacking on the Procrastination Superhighway or Facebook: A new world of time wasting), the Internet is a seductive medium for procrastination. It’s always there, it’s immediate, and we don’t really even have to leave our work, right?

So, are you procrastinating at the moment? Be honest. The poll is anonymous. It’s not for research purposes, just for our discussion here on the blog. I know that hundreds of people are reading these blogs, so the results should be interesting. (You can even view the results yourself by returning to the blog entry and clicking on "view results").
