Breaking the Holiday Habits

Well, our holidays are nearing an end. I can't help but notice that rather than actually achieving something productive these holidays, I have merely managed to re-establish old habits (bad ones!). Here's my top five bad habits that I will need to break over the next few days...

Bad Habit #5: Tim Tams

I think I have gone through about 5 packets since the holidays commenced a few weeks back. Favourite way to consume Tim Tams? Bite off either end and drink coffee through it of course!


Bad Habit #4: Facebook

Well hey, there's nothing better to do... is there? Surely stalking your friends is worthwhile in some way?

Bad Habit #3: YouTube

This would not have been quite so bad if it weren't for those annoying little links they put down the side, which encourage you to follow the wildest of tangents with a simple click of the mouse. Favourites these holidays have included Radiohead videos and Miranda Sings as well as new Harry Potter trailers.

Bad Habit #2: Ignoring the Alarm

I hate the morning. Waking up is by far the most annoying thing to do every day, but normally if there is something I have to do I manage to drag myself out of bed. It began with only a few presses of the "snooze" button. In recent days however, I pushed snooze so many times that after an hour I simply didn't bother and went back to sleep, eventually waking up to realise it's time for lunch!

Bad Habit #1 (drum roll please): Video Games

Where do I begin?! Those little buggers are designed to suck the life out of you, I swear! Why I thought it would be a good idea to buy a DS I'll never know... Past experience should tell me that I have very little control at resisting a good game. So, many hours have been poured into Zelda and this dodgy little farming game I have become rather fond of. One of these days I'll learn my lesson.

We have a winner!
