Is GOOD for you!!!! Watching Reruns is actually good for you!
"The findings suggest that if you're facing a task that requires a lot of self-control — like starting a new routine, quitting smoking or dealing with a difficult situation at work — you'll feel better and have more willpower if you choose re-watching or re-reading favorite books than if you pick up new ones. Seeing as your brain associates this stimulus with social interaction maybe it would be best to pick your favorite shows with ensembles. Alternatively, you can use this study to justify extensive DVD collections, because you'll never know when you need a social surrogate pick-me-up."
Now, you can tell everyone you know that you write fanfic to increase your mental abilities and your 'getting it done' drive!!!! I need to get out my dvds!!
