Bad Advice: Slack Off More

Submit your questions to [email protected] or leave a question in the comments section, and I’ll answer it in Bad Advice!
Today I answer a question from myself. It might also explain, in part, why my column is late this week.
Dear Bad Advice,
I'm addicted to foodgawker. I can't get any work done. Now that it has infinite scrolling I can't even pretend I'll stop after the first page. How will I ever finish another column ever again?
- Me.
This is going to sound like bad advice, but I should probably spend a little less time working.
