5 Ways To Hack Your Laziness

Outwit your laziness to make yourself more productive!

5 Ways To Hack Your Laziness
Huffington Post

Think being lazy is a bad thing? Think again! Check out these super easy ways to use your laziness to your advantage.

1. Put your phone in another room.

I can't be the only one that hates getting up when I'm sitting in a comfy position. When you're working, put your phone in another room or on another floor. You'll be too lazy to get it, and you'll save tons of time by not constantly feeling the need to check it.


2. Brush your teeth right after dinner.

I have a terrible midnight-snacking habit, and the best way I found to combat it was to just brush my teeth early. If I want to eat that snack, I'll have to brush my teeth again, which is just annoying.


3. Uncheck the "Remember Me" setting on Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Now every time you open your fav distracting sites, you have to type in your e-mail and password each time. It's a pain, and you'll find yourself feeling less inclined to gravitate towards those sites.


4. Replace the fingerprint/touch password on your phone with a long number combo.

It's so easy to check your phone all you have to do is touch it, and your home screen lights up. Now, if you have to enter in a long string of numbers and letters every time you want to check it, it's a lot less appealing.


5. Have a friend change your Facebook, Twitter, etc. passwords for you.

You literally won't be able to log in until your friend's assured you'll be able to log in. Just make sure your friend writes it down somewhere so you don't get locked out.

Now, close out of this tab, put your phone in another room, and get to work!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
