Lately I have been a procrastinating queen. I can’t help it, one minute I’m super focused and the next I just want to troll the Internet for stupid things to do. Sometimes you just need a few hours to clear your head, get a fresh start, or seriously you have nothing to do at work. So here are some sites that help me “clear my head” while I’m procrastinating at work.

Refinery 29

Fashion, fashion, more fashion. And oh yea Refinery 29 has news tidbits and if you live in Chicago, NYC, San Fran or LA you can get info about new restaurants in your area, store openings, events and other great going-ons in your area. I especially love reading the segment 5 Things to Know This AM.

Hype Machine

I spend hours on Hypem everyday. It’s a site that aggregates a bunch of music blogs into one site so you can listen to new music. You can sort by indie, electronica, rock, hip-hop. This is a fun site to also just get you pumped up for that next project too.

IMDB & iTunes Trailers

I love movies. No lie, probably more than the normal person. So keeping up with the latest going-ons on the movie world is a must for me. I like to check the Internet Movie Database or iTunes Trailers site for any new trailers that are out or just to check in on what my favorite actor is up to. Greatest example, I watched the Breaking Dawn trailer 3 times already. #addiction

Vimeo 

Talk about a time suck. Vimeo is just a place to find fun, creative videos like Marcel the Shell and not gonna lie a whole ton of engagement videos. I can’t help but watch them. Why. can’t. I. stop???

    whenever i feel like killing time at work i go right to imdb/apple and watch movie trailers. it’s quite ridiculous actually. also i like to look up random historical figures on wiki and read all about them, makes me feel a little less guilty that i’m actually learning something, haha.

    Oh I love looking at Pinterest!
    And then reading some blogs.
    Also, I check out the news a lot. I suppose that’s not that bad, because it’s always good to know what’s happening in the world, right?
    You’ve now reminded me that I still haven’t watched the Breaking Dawn trailer. Will do that later today!

    (I love Max, Margaux & The Marvelows on vimeo, it’s supercute!)

    But in all honesty, I prefer busy days at work. I don’t do boredom very well.

    My time suck used to consist of reading blogs or writing blogs when I worked in an office! I know I’m not supposed to be writing blogs while at work, but I couldn’t help it . . . I guess that said something about my job and why I don’t work there anymore! haha :)
