1. Modern Stuff

Go catch up on some modern arts. And STEAL FROM THE BEST, of course.

2. Voyeurism

Astronaut.io is an addictive site: “…[These] videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you).”

You have the option of watching the whole video by clicking on a button. Otherwise, a new clip starts in about 10 seconds.

Pro tip: The only way to stop it so you can stop procrastinating is to hit reload.

3. Learn to Draw

Over at The Conversation, a great post on letting yourself learn to draw. Their main idea: ABORTIVE ATTEMPTS. Don’t let the fact that you “can’t draw” stop you from drawing. As I’m fond of saying when someone says they can’t draw a straight line, “No one’s asking you to draw a straight line — and if they do, get a ruler.” Whip out one of those extra WASTE BOOKS you have lying around and start filling it up.

Stay safe out there!
