#break tips

change the sheets on your bed

draw (badly, if you're me)

put on a playlist that's too distracting to write to

go get a nice snack

drink water (hydration is key)

water the dying plants in That One Green Corner

make a timeline of story events (technically writing but I find timelines fun)

scroll through Pinterest and Tumblr

text someone who definitely won't text you back (so you don't feel tempted to check off break)

clean up your workspace

go for a walk. (ew. it's supposed to be productive)

or a swim (>>)

watch a movie (to laugh or cry to. not something you watch in sullen silence)

indulge in a guilty pleasure

get that work done

go buy a single item from the grocery store in pyjamas

essentially get out of bed

reread what you wrote already

do a deep dive into Canada's Rhinoceros Party

make a to-do list

reread a book
