Is it weird to pretend to have someone tell you what to do?

I'm such a lazy person. Yesterday the only way I could get up and get anything done was if I pretended I was on an MTV Made episode. A life coach/fitness trainer was the one telling me everything to get done and how to do it. It was cool, but weird because it was almost like I saw things from a different perspective, which helped. Is this unhealthy to keep doing this? It was only for a few hours, but I got a lot of stuff done. What kinds of strange things do you do?
