18 Things to Do When You Can't Watch One More Second of Netflix

We've all fallen down the all-to-familiar Netflix rabbit hole. You kick back at the end of a hectic work day, a glass of wine in hand, assuring yourself that you'll only watch one episode, maybe two. But "just one episode" quickly turns into one season and, before you know it, it's 2 a.m. and you're contemplating starting yet another next season. And after falling into this routine day after day, eventually your brain will beg you to do something — literally anything — else. Luckily, there are tons of things to do at home that don't involve television, including activities that can strengthen your cognitive functions and sharpen your memory. Whether you'd rather teach yourself a new language, put together a 2,000 piece puzzle, or try to recreate your favorite Monet painting, there are plenty of ways to unwind at the end of the day without reaching for the remote.
