A procrastinators guide to wasting time effectively

"I never put off till tomorrow what I can possibly do - the day after"
- Oscar Wilde

Procrastination is like the evil overlord of my generation. Everybody procrastinates. It has been made so easy for us to do - we all have smart phones with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Tinder, and so many other delightfully enticing apps that we simply get lost in. I don't know if I would survive, if one day, all of these apps just ceased to exist. Oh what a cruel fate that would be...

I am a self diagnosed social media addict. Facebook is my heroin. I am always checking it, scrolling through my news feed, posting, liking, sharing - I just can't stop. Even as I am typing I have Facebook sitting idle in another tab ready for me to check. My procrastination very much will start and finish with Facebook. At work, at home, at the gym, going out with friends, even sometimes when I am sitting on the toilet (haha). I just can't help it. It's who I am.

So here I sit, at my desk, nothing in my in tray, procrastinating - yet again. It is a very good feeling, having been flat chat for the last two months. Finally having a slow day. Gives me time to reflect, review, take some selfies & of course, procrastinate.

So this is me... Your friendly office-girl/real estate loving/trendsetter/travel obsessed/Facebook addict/PROCRASTINATING QUEEN. Tegan.

Euro Adventures Pt 12 - Driving The Day Away, To Venice We Go

Sometimes I cannot believe I am on this tour, living this lifestyle, I never thought I would be able to handle it... My body may be telling me that I can't. But I will still power through! This is one of those days - one of those days where I need to power through, buck up, not be a princess and suck up the massive pain in my tailbone and endure a long day in a bus... But at least at the end we will be in one of my favourite places in the world, Venice! Already on our 11th day... 11 days away from our jobs, from our families, from our boyfriends, it's been hard, but we have tried to make every day as fun as we can - even the drive days, and this one was a long one - we did, however, have one notable stop... Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene,from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Today we were able to stop in Verona, where the famous play Romeo and Juliet was based. It was nothing like ...

Euro Adventures Pt 17 - When In Rome...

Waking up in Rome, such a surreal thing, travelling somewhere so different, I always find myself thinking, 'wow'. 16 days in, still sick, still a very sore tailbone (I do have fears it might be cracked or a severely bruised bone), but still trying to do my very best every day to have a great time. We had another early start today and most of us had chosen to do the Vatican City tour, we had a local guide take us through the Musee Vaticani and through some different galleries, into the Sistine Chapel and through to St Peters Basilica. There was little to no air conditioning throughout the entirety of the tour, so we all walked out dripping with sweat. But for me it was worth it, I love the history surrounding this place and all that comes with it - it was just as exciting for me now as it was 7 years ago. I don't think I will ever be able to express how beautiful St Peters Basilica is so ill just put some of the photos below. Amazing. Truly a place of God. After the tour h...

Euro Adventures Pt 7 - The Medieval Town of Avignon

Today we head off to the town of Avignon today - one of the oldest medieval towns in France. It houses the only other home of past Popes other than the Vatican. We are lucky enough to have been arriving the same day as the popular Avignon Festival which happens every July and is a massive performing arts festival. We had a long 6-7 hour drive to reach our hostel - it was a really bumpy and windy drive so I found myself feeling very ill, we stopped for a picnic lunch and were very surprised to find the strangest squat/drop toilets I have ever seen before in my life... In Australia we have long drops... But we have nothing like this. I was going to give it a try for the sake of this blog but I chickened out. I took a picture too... After a long hot drive and a couple of toilet stops we finally arrived at our hostel - WHICH HAD A POOL!!! Noddy gave us an hour and a half of free time before we headed into the old city of Avignon. Alysha and I were straight into that pool - so re...
