SELF-DISCIPLINE has gone out of the window during the lockdown, meaning you can get away with indulging bad habits. Try these out for starters.
Watching TV until 4am
As usual the programme everyone’s talking about is broadcast from America during the early hours, so you have to stay up if you want to catch it live. The bizarre orange character who wants to inject you with disinfectant might give you nightmares though.
Flirting with alcoholism
In the Before Time, spending every night drinking on your own was a worrying sign. Now it makes you a brave stay-at-home hero. Enjoy it whilst it lasts because as soon as you’re actually able to go to the pub, binge drinking will be frowned upon again.
Racking up massive debts
Remember how you used to turn your nose up at people who maxed out their credit cards on fancy holidays and trainers? And now here you are taking out a loan you’ll never be able to repay just because you’re bored and fancy an online shopping spree. It’s OK though, as you’re helping to save the economy. Rishi Sunak will be proud.
Talking to yourself
No longer the first sign of madness, talking to yourself is now the easiest way for people living on their own to have a decent conversation. The same rule applies to unfortunate individuals locked down with 5G truthers and children.
Going over 13 hours of screen time every day
Spending every waking moment on social media used to feel like a massive waste of time, but these days it’s the best way to find out if we’re allowed to touch food or breathe outside. Scroll yourself into a frenzy getting jealous of other people’s ‘lockdown lifestyles’.
