Full tip: "The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life"
- vinutheraj 17y agoI watch movies/read HN while I procrastinate ! :(
- thibaut_barrere 17y agoIs there any way to turn 'watching movies' or 'read HN' into some kind of work ?
- vinutheraj 17y agoThat's what I am searching for while reading HN
- thibaut_barrere 17y agoWell - you're on track, then :)

- abstractbill 17y agoJust label yourself "pre-revenue", and you can tell people reading HN is your job.
- goosefraba19 17y agome too!
- 10ren 17y agoIt says "the work you do while procrastinating". Sometimes when you procrastinate it will be by playing (movies, HN); but sometimes you put off one kind of work by doing another kind of work. And some kinds of play actually involve some work within them, such as writing funny answers on reddit, photoshopping, gathering evidence by online research to prove how someone on the internet is wrong, carefully articulating an argument or idea, attempting to inspire or encourage someone, narrating a personal experience as a relatable story. Even the act of reading is a form of work. I'm not saying that all those examples of work can be done in exchange for money on their own, but each of them is required by one job or another.

- prawn 17y agoKnow of any jobs going for Freecell players?
- thibaut_barrere 17y agoWell - theoretically one could think about a system where freecell players would get paid low amounts to play, and their moves would be used as a crowdsourced processing power. That's just an idea though :)
