Nothing beats a catnap!
This is what I think. I am a happier and more creative person for being guilty of 10 out of 17 on the list! HA!
Seriously, I'm thinking about all the pressure we put on ourselves to be more productive, up before sunrise, efficient, organized, skinnier, successful, and looking great but let's face it -- the negative impact from all this pressure far outweighs being guilty of all the below here and there.
Time to give ourselves a break! Give others a break. Get crazy! BREAK THE RULES! {I've always been a rule-breaker. I guess that's why I'm an entrepreneur and paid an ungodly amount of money on parking tickets in college} More importantly, know you will be okay! {Thank you Tumbling Goddesses for making this my new mantra!}

Hmmm....I would like you to add "don't turn your computer on today" to your list.
Today's guilty pleasure: sitting and fiddling with facebook and reading blog while eating cookies and playing hookie!!! Ain't life grand?!?
How about ...forgetting (or choosing ) to not turn on your mobile (cell) phone for the entire working day! I did it by mistake & had a very quiet, productive day.
Love these! it's hard to be productive, proactive or creative when we are getting bombarded with emails and phone calls. Add IM to the list - I "used" to be on IM all the time - now I choose not to. If I did, My Inspiration Lounge would have never been created!
@chix: one night I sat on facebook, sipped wine and ate chocolate! I had a blast!
