After refreshing the feed for the fourth time in ten minutes, you still don't care what that girl who left school at 15 is doing with her boyfriend today. Thanks to an intricate and elaborate search of Daily Mail, you now know what every member of TOWIE wore yesterday. And you've now spent your weekly food budget on ASOS.
Maybe it's time for some more productive procrastination?
No one can work all day every day and it's natural to start flagging after a couple of hours. Here's my recommendations of guilt-free procrastination.
1. Guilt Free TV: Documentaries
Bonus points if it's related to your course. As a psychologist this basically stretches to anything involving humans if I'm feeling generous. Although, my exuse for watching Jeremy Kyle to 'understand human issues' has lost some credibility. Seriously though, documentaries make you feel clever and interesting without the actual effort of reading.
2. Phone Mum/Dad/Friend you haven't spoken to in a while.
3. Clean/Tidy
Clean house, clean mind! Super-satisfying and will generally make you feel better about life. You could even end up finding that thing you've been looking for since forever. Plus it might make it easier for your epic moving-out clean looming in a few weeks time.
4. Sell old textbooks/clothes.
Get some cash for the summer. There's the usual suspects, like ebay and amazon, but there's some really useful sites you might not have hear of. Fatbrain will buy your old textbooks for a fixed price, free postage. Vinted is a clothes swapping app where you can buy and sell unwanted clothes, but what make its interesting is that you can swap clothes with other Vinted members too.
5. Try a new fitness class.
You will always feel better about yourself. Worst case scenario if it's horrible, you might actually end up glad you have work to do.. SUCH a shame you can't make it next week, pesky exams.
6. Enter competitions
Bit of a random one, but there are so many free entry competitions, and someone's got to win!
7. Guilt Free Baking
Bringing baked goodies makes you everyones friend. FACT.
My housemate introduced me to a world of guilt-free baking, with recipes that sound odd (replacing butter with vegetables) but really work - especially the chocolate based ones. Practise your best nonchalant domestic goddess voice, for when you tell your revision frazzled hungry new best friends that these brownies are only 27 calories.. http://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/post/72039348626
