My Not-To-Do-List

So, of course I was perusing the internet today trying to "be creative" (I have a final sort of art project I have to do for a course)...haha, I know, since when do people go to the internet for inspiration...yuck! ANYWAY I came across this website called 52projects.com and the dude posted a Not-to-do-list which I felt had some seriously relevant points.

I am making my own personal not-to-do list as the Christmas season is approaching, as well as finals, and I need to remind myself of the things not-to-do when it is business time! Some of these may be repeats from his list, but they apply to me so I am using them with gratitude. (Also I should note, most of these things need to be done, just not when I am trying to DO something else :)
