The list is long and eclectic (a nice word for 'all over the bloody place'). It includes but is not limited to things that involve:
writing / laughing / thinking / ranting / reading / observing / questioning / mothering / appreciating beauty / conversing / connecting / learning / doing really bad illustrations
Basically anything that takes my fancy!
So that's my definition. For those who are interested here's what the dictionary has to say on the subject:
1. to defer action; delay: to procrastinate until an opportunity is lost.
2. to put off till another day or time; defer; delay.
Life wasn't always like this. I was the type of vague and day-dreamy child that was always going to be better than most at the noble art of procratinating. I probably reached my peak during the pre-kids years of my early twenties.
Golden pub afternoon that dissolved in the warmth of cheap beer and bad pool.
Sleeping until 10 am... actually make that 11.00 am.
As a career woman, mother and partner I tend to deal mostly in imperatives - things that must be done, that cannot be negotiated, avoided or even compromised slightly.

Whole days spent devouring novels instead of exam cramming.

So this is me deferring the things I should be doing to spend a little more time doing the the things I love.
Delaying housework.
Putting off comparitive analysis of competing health fund premiums to ensure we are getting the most bang for our buck.
Losing the opportunity to have my tax return lodged on time.
Living life between the lines.
I hope you can come and share some of my favourite diversions with me.
