Step 2:
Your phone is your best friend. Any social media or streaming service app is there for a reason. Utilize it on your journey to get distracted from less fun stuff to do. Needed a reason to binge Avatar the Last Airbender for the fiftieth time? Well now you have it. Go ahead, watch it.

Step 3:
Become familiar with spontaneous decision-making. If you are settling down to do the dreaded task you “need” to get done, do not hesitate to run out the door if your friend so much as mentions getting ice cream. Remember, you have the time.

Quiz Time: If you are asked , by your friend, whether you want to watch something really dumb do you say... A) “No thanks, I got homework I need to do.” B) “FRICK YEAH” C) You don’t say anything because you are too busy doing homework If you said A then you need to work on your priorities. If you said B then you are on fire! Keep up that amazing mindset If you said C then you are a loser. Sorry but the truth hurts.
