write 10 pages a day, stop sleeping in, quit watching Shameless until all hours of the night, get it in your head that granola bars and trail mix are not proper substitutes for lunch, or dinner, remember that just because there is no snow on the ground it's not necessarily the season for spring shoes, stop neurotically following the election polls - they will drive you crazy, and you are just using it as another way to procrastinate, and finally, browsing craigslist for dogs up for adoption is just shy of torture (and it makes you sad).
