One way I stay productive is to have a task I'm just unable to get done and end up procrastinating with other helpful tasks. Previous resident here did some dumb crap with the windows in a bit of "DI-Why the fuck would he do that?!". So I was uncovering my window, and cleaned it. Then cleaned my housemate's study window. Then spent however long scraping paint off her bedroom window cause I figure she'd enjoy that. My room... still a pile of disorganized stuff.
