5. Take your dog on very long walks. You’re being healthy. What’s wrong with that? Right… right..?
6. Got to bed late. Wake up late. Feel groggy all day and say, “I’m going to bed on time tonight and setting an alarm for tomorrow. I really need to establish a structured routine.” Repeat daily.
7. Look for jobs knowing that your only hope of landing said job is actually being awarded your Masters (but for that to happen, you need to write your dissertation).
