On a regular day, you would never dream of spending 6 hours turning an avocado into a piece of art, or covering an entire page of your notebook with mind-blowingly intricate doodles, but it's amazing how creativity is sometimes spurred by a lack of focus. According to Wharton University professor Adam Grant, procrastination actually makes your brain more inventive, and some of the most famous thinkers (Martin Luther King Jr., Leonardo Da Vinci) were known to produce their best work at the last minute - I Have a Dream, anyone?
If you're sitting at your desk right now and feeling guilty for constantly drifting away from that project you were meant to finish 2 hours ago, cut yourself a break and embrace all that 'free time' you're giving yourself. If you've made your own masterpiece in a moment of extreme distraction, add it to our list at the end!

Bored At Work, So Made Bowser With Post-Its
Great job! Just remember to peel them off when the boss comes, don't want him to know you had that much time :)
I would just say I stayed after work to make it it's too cool to ruin
Load More Replies...There was an advertising company that actually encouraged this kind of behaviour, as the management believed it made their reps more creative.
I would want to work there, because I could do random stuff every day, and just tell everyone I'm getting "creative" xD
Load More Replies...I'm impressed by the color selection of post it notes kept in stock at this office
I once had the dragon from Adventure in my window. This is a tad more impressive.

Load More Replies...I am making a rubber band ball from the tubber bands of my medication, horrible to make in the beginning, even te size of the moon. Mine is double the size of the moon in this picture as far as I can see. But no where near the earth!
To be fair - we can't be absolutely sure of the scale. You are limited by the stretch of a laccy band, else you have to start tying them together - no hint of this happening yet. I guess the size of a beach ball.
Load More Replies...made one of these with the bands that came round the mail. When someone needed a band we bounced the ball to them. Had to explain the noise to the downstairs stores
I never know how people can have so much time at work to do these things. We used to work ten hour days and still the work never got done.

So I Got Bored And Carved This Pencil
He must be an amateur wood carver. All my family is highly interested in this art, but even my mom, the best among the best I know would find it difficult to deal with this pencil. Such thin pieces of wood are really fragile and difficult to work with. You need great patience and a bit of luck.

OMG :D This is hilarious. Who comes up with stuff like that?? Really want to be friends with that person.
Kinda funny but.. jeesus christ that is one ugly a*s bug. And big. Like a fucken monster size? Really did not know cockroaches were that size.
They are fairly big, maybe inch-inch and half or so, and freaked me out the first time I saw one. I think they are the only insect which genuinely I would not touch with my bare hands...they're just....eww...I think the fact I heard (probably an urban myth) that they would be the only survivors after nuclear war just about did it for me.
Load More Replies...And the fact that they added a yellow necktie kind of grosses me out they touched it I know it's just a cockroach probably has less germs then the people out there but still
Load More Replies...For a minute I thought "oh, how did they train that roach to sit there?" (Full disclosure- I've been up since two with a sick kid so I'm not firing on all cylinders.)
Did you know that if you touched a cockroach they will hode and clen them selves
It is gross and funny at the same time. My complaint would be working in an office that has roaches that size
