12. Well-dressed animals

If you have been concentrating really hard on something very complicated, this is the perfect antidote. These animals are well dressed. Shifting your focus to something so lovely and simple will leave the rest of your brain to process what you’ve just been working on.

13. Nailed It

OK, not a website, but a Twitter feed – it shows a direct comparison between the original and someone’s attempt to replicate it, whether it’s baking, artwork or dressing up.

14. Do nothing for 2 minutes

It plays soft wave music and times you for two minutes, during which time you aren’t allowed to touch your mouse or keyboard. If you do, it flashes ‘FAIL’ and starts the counter again.

15. Eel slap

Have you ever felt so wound up with revision and exam stress that only virtually slapping a man around the face with an eel will help? In slow motion? Of course you have, why else would this site exist?!
