It’s nice to get some downtime now and again, but when things start to go awry you know it’s time to get up off the sofa and have some fun outside. In case you can’t tell the difference between a day off and a write-off, here’s 6 signs to look out for:
You’re surfing channels like an Australian pro
Whatever‘s on television, it’s not something you want to watch. As a result, you’re constantly flicking over, surfing channels like an Australian pro, in the hopes of landing on something that might interest you in the slightest.
Sadly you’ve either seen it before, seen it too many times, or can’t stand Holly Willoughby.
Wikipedia is more enthralling than you remember
Whether or not it’s a credible source of information doesn’t matter, all of a sudden Wikipedia is the most enthralling thing on the Internet – scratch that, the world!
Instead of actually reading whatever is at the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, or investing days in a Breaking Bad boxset, you’re glimpsing over the synopsis in a fraction of the time.
Everybody else is having fun, obviously
You can’t be sure, and without resorting to Facebook there is no way to prove it – but you’re fairly certain everybody in the world is having a better time than you.
For the first time in forever, you feel guilty about not exercising
Usually you couldn’t care less about how many sit-ups you can do, or that your arms aren’t quite ‘big’ enough, but for some reason this is really eating away at you today. You should be pumping iron, eating protein, piling on the muscle. Everybody else is winning at fitness and you’re just a scrawny, out of shape weakling!
It’s 2am and you’re still on Wikipedia
You don’t know how it’s happened, but somehow you’ve found yourself on a Wiki page detailing the last recorded witch-burning. Why this interests you, you cannot say, but it does, and it’s probably going to get even creepier until you fall asleep.
You’ve discovered your tea ‘limit’
Until this point you never knew how many cups of tea you drink in a single day. It’s seven. For everybody, it’s seven.
