I don’t endorse procrastination — but I know I am not the only one who has suddenly found the motivation for a deep clean of my room the night before an assignment is due. But what if I don’t want to clean or reorganize my bookshelf? What if I can’t find it in me to open that reading assignment but still don’t want to feel that bad about it?
A New Years resolution of mine was to use as much of the services that my tuition fees pay for as possible. This is how I discovered Kanopy — the streaming service that students get free access to through the library. Kanopy is a treasure trove of film and houses a ton of documentaries; some mainstream titles for sure, but also a lot of niche choices. Watching documentaries is one of the most guilt-free procrastination methods I’ve ever used, because I learn while also making use of my tuition money. Though be warned, you may end up crying over the extinction of passenger pigeons at one in the morning — proceed with caution.
