I watch movies/read HN while I procrastinate ! :(

  Is there any way to turn 'watching movies' or 'read HN' into some kind of work ?

    That's what I am searching for while reading HN

    Just label yourself "pre-revenue", and you can tell people reading HN is your job.

  It 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.

    One time I made a page for my personal website instead of doing a Spanish paper. Later, I was forced to finish that Spanish paper on a Friday night instead of partying. I was disappointed, but upon reflection it was a good thing.
