Top 10 Ways to Distract Myself and Waste Time

These are not in the order that I prefer to distract myself, in fact, they may not be in any order at all.  If they are in order, it's the order of how often I do them.

1) Watching Netflix
     This is such a waste of time.  I get nothing out of this, but sometimes I just need to check out;      however, I check out way too often.
2) Facebook
     Not a lot of positive reasons that this takes up so much of my time; however, it is extremely helpful to keep in contact with my family and friends that I don't get to see very often.
3) The beach
     This is actually an alright way (in my mind) for me to distract myself.  Being out in the sunshine, hanging out with my dog, and getting a bit of exercise in can't be all bad.  It is especially good for me to clear my head and relax!
4) Spending time with family/friends
     I've been doing a lot more of this lately.  While it does "distract" me from getting homework done, there's a lot to be said for family time.
5) Attempting and failing to do projects I find on Pinterest
     This is fun to do and usually ends in huge disasters and messes.
6) Photography
     Gratifying.
7) Sleeping
     Seriously, I wish I just powered down everything else and did this more often.
8) Working out
     I always feel SO good after working out.  I just need to remember this when I am watching Netflix!
9) Cooking
     Experimenting, fire, food.  Does it really get much better?
10) Taking an excessive number of showers.
     When I am really unmotivated, sometimes the only thing that gets me motivated is taking showers.  It's almost like restarting the day, I guess.

Reading used to be on this list, but school has ruined reading for me at this point.  I look forward to the day when reading will once again top my list of procrastination techniques.

I am trying to get motivated to move working out, photography, and the beach higher on my list.  Perhaps the solution to that problem is to move sleeping higher on my list.

The only thing that I agree with is "SLEEPING."
This definitely distracts me from everything. Including fun. LOL
