From experience: Binging 'Friends' reruns while sorting my closet was a huge mistake!

You'll get nothing done and just keep hitting 'next episode' instead of finishing the task!

Isn't it weird how some people can totally zone into a show while doing chores, like @the_zara said, but for others it's an instant focus killer? Feels like that's just how my brain works with any mildly interesting background noise, it takes over.

Actually found that having Friends on in the background helps me power through boring chores. It makes the sorting part less awful somehow.

Ugh, my whole Sunday disappears like that. The closet just stares at me while I'm busy deciding if Ross and Rachel are on a break.

Honestly, that whole "on a break" debate is the best procrastination tool ever invented.
