How to Netflix Binge Responsbily

Yes, I'm guilty too. I have a Netflix account, which I don't always watch. But, when I do, let's just say I tend to be in it for the long haul.

ahhhh those blissful moments....minutes... hours...months of uninterrupted online streaming.

The guilt and memory sets in when I realize I have a whole laundry list of things I neglected to do. I will never be completely guilt-free from Netflix binges unless I finish the important things first.
Like the little kid wanting the dessert before dinner, I can discipline myself and show that I am responsible.

So here's a list of 20 productive activities and stuff to consider:

1. Exercise
   Go to a yoga class; go to an indoor walking track; go swimming.
2. Water plants before they die from neglect
3. Take a shower. Speaking of neglect, make sure personal hygiene is not suffering.
4. Host a game night. Remember, it's important to socialize.
5. Tidy up the house
6. Get. Plenty. of. Sleep!! I know it's hard because internet but then I discovered the "off" button
7. Do yard work
8. Research a topic you've had questions on and take notes on what you learned
9. Volunteer at pet shelter. Remember to take care of your own pet first...
10. Have a garage sale
11. Cook
