When you're feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your life, sometimes the best thing to do is to just give up and watch some TV. But not just any TV show will do – you need one with complex, intricate plotlines and morally ambiguous characters. That's why we're going to talk about the art of binge-watching TV shows as a form of productive procrastination.
Step 1: Find a show with a large cast of characters. The more characters, the more confusing, the more opportunities to get lost in the plot.
Step 2: Set a timer for 3 hours. This will give you just enough time to get through 2-3 episodes without getting too distracted by the world outside.
Step 3: Make a snack. A snack is essential for maintaining focus and productivity.
Step 4: Get lost in the show. Forget about your responsibilities and just let the characters' drama consume you.
And that's it! With these simple steps, you'll be able to procrastinate like a pro and still feel productive. Or, at the very least, you'll be able to pretend that you're being productive while secretly watching TV all day.
